Poäng

'point, argument, punch-line') is a wooden cantilever armchair that has been sold by the Swedish furniture retailer IKEA since 1992 as a modified form of the "Poem" chair .

Its molded plywood frame swings slightly when a person sits in it, giving the impression of a rocking chair; Nakamura intended this to evoke a relaxing feeling.

The "Poem" was renamed to "Poäng" in 1992, and the seat frame was changed from tubular steel to wood, which allowed the chair to be flat-packed and led to a price reduction of 21%.

[6] In its post-1990s form, the Poäng is composed of a frame of bent, glued beechwood veneers and solid wooden rails, finished with clear lacquer[7] and available in various colors.

IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad expressed an affinity for the Poäng, and said in 2006 that he had owned the same one for 32 years.
