The “Oti” wire lounge chairs were designed by Danish designer Niels Gammelgaard for Ikea in the late 1980s. These chairs are noted for their minimalist industrial design, featuring a structure made of black lacquered steel wire. The chairs are designed with a diamond-shaped seat and backrest, set on a triangular base, which provides a unique aesthetic and sturdy support.
These chairs are part of a collection of furniture pieces that highlight Ikea’s collaboration with well-known designers, aiming to bring high-quality design to a broader audience. This model is considered a classic example of Ikea’s vintage design, reflecting Gammelgaard’s background in industrial design, which he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Erik Herløw
