Armchair beds from Ikea

The chair-bed is a functional furniture for a small or spacious apartment. At night, it works as a bed, and during the day it folds compactly and modestly receives guests. Ikea armchair beds are in incredible demand as universal and sometimes irreplaceable furniture, and the first thing that customers pay attention to is an affordable price and a stylish design.

Ikea was created by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943 by a Swedish entrepreneur who, as a child, began selling matches and ballpoint pens. In the middle of the last century, this furniture was very expensive and was not affordable for everyone, so the young entrepreneur was eager to make affordable and simple furniture.Ikea brand is an abbreviation of the name of its creator and the village where he lived. At first, only pens were sold in it, and only in 1948 did the first furniture appear.

After 10 years, Ingvar Kamprad opened the first store, and it did not look like huge modern hypermarkets, but rather resembled an exhibition hall with a pair of chairs and chest of drawers. The main "chip" Ikea was that every buyer or onlooker could try out the furniture in the work: sit on it in the case of chairs or fully open and close the drawers of the chest. In the 1960s, several brand stores opened in Sweden, and by the end of the century the network had grown worldwide.

Buying multifunctional furniture is a necessity when there is no place to place frequent guests. And it does not always correspond to the taste and abilities of customers: either the color is not the same, the price bites, the mechanism is too complicated. The Ikea brand is famous for its well-designed furniture, including armchairs and beds. These models are incredibly stylish, comfortable, practical and inexpensive - almost everyone can afford such a purchase.

• Sophisticated design allows a compact chair to turn into a full-fledged “single bed” and vice versa - the bed can be easily transformed into a chair without a hint of a sleeping place;
