4-seat dining set with modern flair inspired by Scandinavian design heritage. Brown-stained wooden elegance made for years of use paired with long-lasting comfort. Butterfly leaf extends to seat 6.

A statement piece for your dining area with fine details like solid wood edges, breadboard ends with cross-grain pattern and smooth, rounded corners.

The round shape of the table makes it great for socialising since everyone can see each other.

Each table is unique, with varying grain patterns and natural colour shifts that are part of the charm of wood.

Brown-stained in layers and clear lacquered for protection and wear resistance. The tabletop is made with extra thick veneer so you can enjoy gatherings with less worries about stains and wear.

Self-storing butterfly extension leaf. The hidden leaf easily extends seating from 4 to 6 in seconds, with only one pair of hands needed.

The seat is made of handwoven paper cord, a naturally cool, comfortable and resistant material, used for years in furniture making.

All fittings are concealed once the chair is assembled.

Story

A timeless dining experience

After having designed and produced furniture for more than 70 years, we have some goodies in our archive that can serve as inspiration for new furniture. Sure, everything wasn’t better in the past, especially not comfort and flexibility, so it’s important to base the work on our needs today, just like we have done with the SKANSNÄS series.

A chair to lean back in

Although many of the chairs in the archive were really comfortable, we wanted to achieve even better comfort. Through trial and error, Mikael and the team searched for the most perfect angle of the backrest and created a seat that is really comfortable to sit on for a long time. “We chose paper cord for the seat since it's strong and gives pleasant suspension when you sit on it.”

For small and large dinner parties

The SKANSNÄS series is made of beech, a hard and durable wood with beautiful graining – just like many of the furniture in the design archive. But, today most of us put higher demands on flexibility. The tables have a so-called butterfly extension. When the house is full of guests, you can easily unfold it and extend the table in a matter of seconds. “SKANSNÄS tables and chairs are made so you can lean back and enjoy small and large dinner parties for many years.” And who knows, maybe they will also become treasures in the archive that inspire future designers.

Designer Thoughts

”In the work with SKANSNÄS, I did a deep dive into our IKEA archive and drew inspiration from tables and chairs from the 1950s and 60s, which was a golden age for Scandinavian design. I like the simple and soft shapes and the natural materials they used. Materials that are beautiful from the start and develop a nice patina over time. I brought all of that with me, but I also wanted to add new knowledge about ergonomics and techniques to make furniture that suits our time.”
