ELLAN was part of the IKEA PS 2006 collection. Chris said when the chair first came out: “Maybe it’s the rebel in me that made me design a chair you can lean back on. But actually, it makes sense to integrate a function in a chair that’s already a part of human behaviour. I hope people appreciate it, and maybe lean back after a nice meal to think about new ways of being rebellious!”
IKEA PS ELLAN is also rebellious in its production. It’s the result of many years of experimenting with a mixture of sawdust and plastic. The result is a strong composite material with a warm, woody feel, that’s also readily recyclable. Using waste sawdust also brings the product’s price down. And as if that wasn’t enough, the chair can be put together using no tools.
