Ingvar from Ikea has died

I’ve always been a fan, and some of their vintage early stuff is getting pretty collectable (though maybe just because it was really rare here in the states). We have a pretty big mix in our home from real vintage MCM, to new DWR, Kartell and HM stuff, to some Ikea and West Elm pieces for filler. Ironically, with all that stuff people always comment on two pieces of furniture, a TV stand that looks a bit like a gym locker and a couple of one piece plastic outdoor chair… and those are the only Ikea pieces. The outdoor chairs cost 19.99 and the TV stand cost $99 and have had them both for years. They were “placeholders” that just never seemed to need to be replaced.
