The word “office” rarely brings to mind a cheerful picture of a cozy, comfortable room in which you want to spend a lot of time. But work occupies a very significant place in our lives. We sometimes spend most of the day in offices, embodying our ideas, discussing our views, arguing, making friends, chatting, drinking coffee - and all this while sitting in a work chair.

Is it comfortable for you to sit in it? Can your office chair adapt to the height and body type of its owner? Does it move well? Is his seat securely fastened? Does it provide a position for resting and relieving tired muscles?..

Having asked themselves all these questions, specialists from the IKEA furniture store came up with a universal formula for an ergonomic and durable office chair. And here they are - the criteria by which you should henceforth evaluate the convenience of your (and other people’s) workplace:

  • reliable anatomical design;
  • rotating stable support;
  • ergonomic adjustment mechanisms;
  • shock absorber efficiency;
  • the presence of a headrest and armrests;
  • hygiene and environmental safety of materials used in production;
  • originality of the design solution.

In the IKEA catalog you will find office chairs for executives, anatomical operator chairs, chairs for visitors, office chairs, computer chairs, chairs for people with non-standard dimensions. And knowing what to look for in each specific model, you can easily navigate the assortment and be able to equip your office with the most comfortable ergonomic furniture.

Executive office chair

Let's start with the head. The more comfortable, the better, because we need our bosses to have a good working mood, don’t we? A worthy solution from IKEA is the VOLMAR light swivel chair. In addition to a very presentable appearance, VOLMAR will delight you with adjustable seat and back height, adjustable seat depth, tilt lock, anatomical lumbar support, smooth ride and ergonomics in the resting position. Comfort is guaranteed throughout the working day!

Or maybe your manager will like the MARCUS series? The highlight of these models is the mesh back made of modern synthetic materials, which allows air to pass through. All chairs in the series have been repeatedly tested and approved for office use.

And for a less formal setting, we can recommend the MALCOLM or SKRUVSTA models: in addition to all the advantages of a good work chair from IKEA, they also have several color options, from strict to provocatively colorful. Just right for the head of a design bureau or architectural studio!

Working office chair

The workhorse of any large office is the employee computer chair. Everyone who owns a PC knows: the comfort of an office chair affects your health. You have to sit in one position for 5–6 hours, and this has the most deplorable effect on the condition of the spine and muscles by the end of the day. Of course, if it’s the same chair, it’s uncomfortable.

The “right” IKEA office chair will take into account everything that is required: the anatomy of the human body, control ergonomics and even the artistic tastes of the owner! The rotating stable five-beam support and wheels suitable for the floor of your office will ensure a smooth ride and stable position of the chair in any position; hygienic materials will allow you not to sweat in the heat and not to shudder in the cold; Removable seat covers and cushions will delight you with an unexpected change of scenery. Take a closer look at the VILGOT or VINGAL models. Or are you closer to the humble ODFIN? Even inexpensive models are quite capable of coping with serious workloads and meet all the safety, durability and stability requirements of European standards.

If suddenly none of the options suits you, we advise you to apply for custom-made furniture here: https://zorini.ru/.

"Guest" office chair

The IKEA catalog also has wonderful offers for equipping conference rooms and places for visitors, because what office does not have guests - partners, clients, colleagues and friends. Just define your goal, and we will recommend a model for its implementation.

Here is the FJELLBERGET oak veneer conference chair - a solid solution for a small meeting room. But here is the democratic STOLYAN series, which can fit perfectly into a room of any size and style. Here are ALRIK chairs that are simple and very easy to maintain; you just need to wipe them with a damp cloth and they are ready to receive the next visitor. But the comfortable and practical chairs of the PATRICK series - they will create a businesslike, but without unnecessary officialdom, atmosphere at any negotiations. Choose!

Important

The IKEA office desk chair is a hassle-free solution for many years. Why? Because IKEA gives a guarantee. All models of MARCUS and VOLMAR chairs are guaranteed for 10 years! Every computer chair, every work chair has been tested by hundreds of getting up and sitting down (you can see for yourself how this is done in IKEA stores), all materials are tested for environmental friendliness, all mechanisms are tested for durability. Therefore, the durability and ergonomics of office furniture declared by our experts is pure truth. And if you are not inclined to take their word for it, come to IKEA stores and check everything for yourself.

Main advantages

The versatility of this type of furniture allows them to be used not only in kitchen interiors. You can take them with you to the dacha or fishing, as well as seat guests during holidays or family gatherings. However, there are many more reasons for their growing popularity. Here are just the most obvious advantages:

  • If your kitchen is not large in size (and this is what many apartments in Russia and the CIS countries are guilty of), then an IKEA folding chair, or even better – several at once, can be an excellent solution. Such “transformers” can be compactly stored in another place, and if necessary, simply take them out and put them where needed.
  • Wide choose. You can choose from several models presented. Moreover, the price for them will differ, and you can choose a solution that suits your budget.
  • Functionality and practicality, thanks to which they can be used in a variety of situations and in different places (dining room, children's room, living room, and so on). This folding chair will help you out when you need it most.
  • Folding wooden or plastic stools are at least as good as, and sometimes even superior to, their standard “brothers” in terms of comfort. This is especially evident when it comes to folding chairs with backrests.
  • We must not forget about the attractive design. The appearance of such “clamshells” for the kitchen can perfectly adapt to almost any style.
  • And finally, high strength and reliability. Whether it's a small design or a fairly tall IKEA folding bar stool, you can be sure of excellent quality and reliable assembly.

IKEA table for a small kitchen

  • If your kitchen area is up to 8 square meters, and there are only 2 people in the family, then pay attention to folding, wall-mounted models - Bjursta and Norberg.

Compact double tables Ingu, Olmstad, Melthorp, Lerhamn, Bilsta, Gamlared, Norroker are suitable for a small family and will fit perfectly into the interior of a small kitchen.

If the kitchen is small and the family has more than 2 people, then it is worth purchasing a transforming model, for example, compact ones from the Ingatorp series with folding floors. If necessary, the tabletop can be extended to accommodate all family members, and when assembled it leaves more free space.

A small round glass table in a small kitchen will seem invisible. In combination with transparent plastic chairs, this is an excellent option for visually expanding the space.

  • A medium-sized kitchen of 9-12 sq.m is a common option in modern apartments and new buildings.

Here you can accommodate a medium-sized dining table for 4 people, for example, Ingatorp.

The best solution would be to choose a model with a round tabletop to comfortably accommodate all household members.
