The design of this white LACK table makes it easy to use for various needs and to match with other furnishings in your home.

The honeycomb paper construction adds strength to the table while keeping it lightweight. This makes it easier to bring home, place where you like and move around throughout the home.

You can use the table on its own or use it as a nesting table by sliding it under the larger LACK table measuring 55x55 cm, for example to save space when it´s not in use.

May be combined with other products in the LACK series. Also matches well with the KALLAX series.

How low can the price go?

Vivianne Sjölin, the range coordinator at IKEA, thought that IKEA had too many big, heavy tables made of wood, metal and glass. Vivianne wanted to see nice, little, colourful tables that were easy to place with flexible use, and that customers might buy on impulse, almost like a souvenir.

Back home in Älmhult, Jan Hellzén and Tomas Paulsson were in the samples room talking about tables when Ingvar Kamprad stopped by, pointed at the table and asked the price. Tomas and Jan improvised a price of 298 kronor. Ingvar didn’t like the price, so he suggested that it could be made out of board-on-frame, the same technique as interior doors, and it can’t cost more than 75 kronor. Tomas was familiar with board-on-frame; so when Jan visited the factory, and product development began in earnest.

In 1979, the table came into the range and the price was 78 kronor. LACK was launched in the 1981 catalogue, by which time the price had gone up to 89 kronor. Everyone was happy; apart from Ingvar, who thought the table was far too expensive.

You can still buy the LACK table at IKEA, and at a lower price than the original. Ever cost-conscious, Ingvar Kamprad would probably have been happy with that.

The image is from the 1985 IKEA Catalogue that says: “The table for all your rooms.”

Material

Easy on you and the planet

We produce the LACK series in a way that makes the furniture lightweight and resource-efficient, yet strong and stable. The secret is an innovative construction using a particleboard frame around a honeycomb filling structure made from 100% recycled paper. We cover the particle board with a high-density fibreboard, protective paint, foil or veneer, depending on the expression we want to create. The result is durable products – requiring less new raw material to be produced.
