Ikea Swivel Chair
Dimension:
- Width: 24 3/4″
- Height: 27 1/8″
- Depth: 29 1/2″
A modern piece with an interesting backstory. Gillis Lundgren, who designed some of IKEA’s best selling units such as the Billy Bookcase, joined IKEA in 1953 as the company’s fourth employee and soon began designing furniture. In the 1967 catalog, his MILA swivel armchair was presented as the “anti stress armchair.” The classic design has been given a new look, with a sitting position that that is naturally relaxing, and an additional leg added to the original 4-leg crossbase for extended support.
Boucle Upholstered Wood Accent Arm Chair
- Width: 26″
- Height: 35″
- Depth: 30.5″
My favorite kind of Target finds: The ones nobody will believe you bought at Target. The olive green fabric and faux leather straps give off vintage camp vibes but the curved wooden frame keeps it from being too rustic.

A beautiful minimalist design that is both cozy and classic. The sherpa fabric and high density foam fill make this the ultimate leisure chair to add a little luxury to your well-earned down time. The metal frame provides sturdy weight support and the customer reviews consistently praise the ease of assembly.
