The natural leather has developed a lived-in patina with visible tonal variation, marks and darker spots, adding depth and authenticity to the set. Rounded front seat details, exposed stitching and the honest wood grain give the chairs a quiet safari-campaign character while keeping the overall silhouette light and functional.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Tomas Jelinek for IKEA, the Kotka chair reflects a more collectible side of 1980s IKEA design, when the brand produced a number of distinctive wood-and-leather pieces with strong Scandinavian and safari-inspired influences. The model is appreciated today for its simple construction, warm materials and understated sculptural presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eGood vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The leather shows visible patina, water marks, darker spots, surface marks, creasing, tonal variation and general signs of use throughout. The pine frames show light scratches, dents, scuffs, small marks and natural age-related wear. The leather stitching, rolled edges and underside straps are present, with visible metal buckles underneath the seats. Overall the chairs remain structurally presentable and full of character, with a beautifully aged vintage look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curated Objects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58080251838809,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/8824\/2521\/files\/Kotka-dining-chairs-Tomas-Jelinek-Ikea-20x25_15b30c36-3fa5-4b42-a96a-83a59e1383b4.jpg?v=1779043969","url":"https:\/\/thecuratedobjects.com\/products\/kotka-dining-chairs-tomas-jelinek-ikea-1980s","provider":"Curated Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
