The POÄNG armchair is one of IKEA's most iconic and best-selling products. Originally launched in 1976 as 'POEM', it was designed by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura in collaboration with IKEA's product development team. The chair is celebrated for its layer-glued bentwood frame, which allows for a slight springiness that mimics a rocking chair.

Manufacturing for POÄNG occurs in multiple countries across Europe and Asia, adhering to IKEA's global supply chain strategy. The design emphasizes duurability and flat-pack efficiency, a hallmark of the IKEA brand. Over the decades, the brand has remained under the ownership of the Inter IKEA Group, maintaining its status as a staple for affordable, modern Scandinavian design worldwide.
