KLIPPAN was introduced in 1980 and grew in popularity over the years. With its clean-lined look and kid-friendly corners it has now been a top seller for almost half a century!
Part of the Nytillverkad collection where several IKEA classics have been given a new look.
Designer Noboru Nakamura used LAPPMON sofa as a starting point when he created KLIPPAN. By simplifying and shortening it by 18 centimetres, less materials were needed, which effected the price positively.
Hallsta cover was first shown on the cover of our 1984 catalogue. Now, 40 years later, it has been given a new life under the name Långban.

Long Term Benefits
In the late 1970s, product developer Lars Engman asked designer Noboru Nakamura to create a robust sofa with soft corners and a washable cover – at a price that families with small children could afford. Nakamura used LAPPMON sofa as a starting point. By simplifying and shortening it by 18 centimetres, less material was required – and there was room for more on each pallet. KLIPPAN sofa was born and introduced in 1980.
