Finally! On Monday Ikea had 4 Roberget office-chairs in stock (SEK799/USD 89.99). Now one of them is mine. It is turquoise, to get some color into the office-corner in my flat. It was not un-problematic to get it home as I didn’t have access to a car and had to transport it on the busses. Legs and wheels were not mounted of course. I made it home with the chair.

Finally I sit comfortably with the right back-support. It is supposed to come in dark grey too, but so far Ikea has not had that one in stock. I prefer the turquoise one though.
I love the form of this metal-chair. The thoughts of the designers about it as stated on Ikea’s pages is:
Designers thought
“When we designed ROBERGET swivel chair we wanted it to be as strikingly good-looking as it is comfortable. We were inspired by public spaces and workspaces of the 1880s to the 1920s. Places like farms, factories, schools and hospitals. By combining color, shapes and finish we were able to balance a vintage feeling with a distinctive modern twist. The chair will look great not only at your desk – but anywhere in your home.”
Designers Lycke von Schantz and Marcus Arvonen
I think they have succeded.

It is a bit cold though and needs something to sit on. It got my black sheep-skin for warmth and softness. Feels good.

Remains to get rid of the Skruvsta chair which is not a comfortable office-chair unless you only sit there for 5-10 minutes… Thought it was comfortable when I bought it and it is a nice enough chair, but… Anybody interested in buying it? Contact me.
