"The artist formerly known as PUCK was designed in 1969 by Gillis Lundgren. The low and wide armchair, which featured a tubular underframe, debuted in the IKEA catalog to great fanfare - originally described as "youthful and festive." The PUCK armchair has been retired for quite some time, but IKEA reissued it in a bright sunny yellow last year and called it SOTENÄS."
"The only difference in design between PUCK and SOTENÄS is a matter of color. The original chair had a white underframe, whereas the new version's frame matches its upholstery for a modern, monochrome look. Just recently, the chair has gotten yet another makeover, newly released in a gorgeous bright red color. It would make a perfect pop of color for those wishing to try out the "unexpected red" theory."
"SOTENÄS can be found at your local IKEA for just under $300, while original PUCK chairs are difficult to find online - and vintage IKEA can be expensive. SOTENÄS gives new life to a beloved design, and makes it much more attainable for people who love the style of vintage IKEA, but not the price tag. And if you like this, check out the rest of IKEA's Nytillverkad collection for more iconic pieces (at iconic prices)."

IKEA reissued the design as SOTENÄS with frame color matching upholstery for a monochrome look, first in yellow and later in bright red. SOTENÄS retails at just under $300, making the vintage-inspired design more attainable than original PUCK chairs. The chair suits lounging, movie watching, gaming, or reading. The Nytillverkad collection includes other reissued iconic IKEA designs at accessible prices.
