Ikea Red Clam Chairs Worth $64,000
Most people associate Ikea with affordable, mass-produced furniture—but every now and then, a rare gem surfaces. A perfect example is the vintage red clam chairs designed by Danish architect Philip Arctander. These chairs, created in collaboration with Ikea, defy the brand’s budget-friendly reputation. In a stunning turn of events, a set of these iconic pieces sold at auction in London for an incredible $64,000.
Originally showcased at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1942, the chairs have since become a symbol of timeless Scandinavian design. Their soft curves and plush upholstery make them stand out even decades later. Collectors around the world now see these vintage Ikea chairs not just as furniture, but as highly prized design artifacts.
