About the Item
Designed by Niels Gammelgaard for IKEA in the 1970s, this pair of ‘Ted’ folding chairs represents a significant moment in Scandinavian industrial design. Gammelgaard, who later became one of IKEA’s most influential in-house designers, was known for merging architectural precision with democratic accessibility — a design ethos that changed global furniture culture.
The Ted chair showcases his signature approach: a light yet structurally confident frame in lacquered metal combined with a moulded plastic seat and backrest. The interplay between chromed steel and black plastic creates a graphic, architectural silhouette that remains distinctly modern today. Functional, stackable, and visually refined, these chairs exemplify the era in which Scandinavian design embraced new materials while maintaining clarity of form.
