Vintage Spindle Windsor Style Armchair ‘Eker’ by Gillis Lundgren, 1960s.

Infuse your space with a masterpiece of Scandinavian Mid-Century design. Originally designed by the legendary Gillis Lundgren—one of IKEA’s foundational designers—the Eker lounge chair is a masterclass in balancing airy geometry with grounded comfort. The Eker is defined by its iconic spindle-back construction, creating a fan-like silhouette that feels light and sculptural. Its low-slung profile and wide, cradling seat offer an inviting “lounge” experience without the bulk of traditional armchairs. The tapered legs and curved backrest pay homage to the classic Windsor style, reimagined through a sleek, modernist lens. 

The chair is sold as seen in the photographs, but can be painted in a color scheme of your choosing. The images showing the chair in the black, orange, red and white paint scheme is just sample of what it could look like. Either as a project for yourself or we can restore and paint it to your specific needs and color at an additional cost. We can also add a cushion in a fabric and color of choice from our suppliers.

📌 Condition:

The chair is currently in its original vintage condition, exhibiting a beautiful and honest patina. While structurally sound and sturdy, the cream-colored lacquer shows significant signs of age, including characteristic paint chipping and surface wear along the curved backrest and seat edges.

🧡 Why It Stands Out
Perfect for cozy reading corners, minimalist living rooms, or as a striking statement piece in a bedroom, this Eker chair is more than just seating—it’s a functional work of art and a piece of design history. Its minimalist footprint and sculptural presence make it a versatile addition to any interior, combining comfort, craftsmanship, and Mid-Century Scandinavian style in one unforgettable chair.
