Although IKEA has become known for its minimalist and simple designs that are the height of modernism, let's not forget that the Swedish company has been around since 1943. There are vintage IKEA pieces and some can be quite valuable (others, not so much).

IKEA furniture pieces like the Ake Easy armchair and late 1960s Tufted sofa and Singoalla Lounge armchair are going up in value. An IKEA Ake Easy armchair, in cream, costs US$ 10,701 on the 1stDibs website. A Kroken Easy armchair with an ottoman costs US$ 1,105. The IKEA vintage furniture market is booming and pieces are appreciating up to 10 times their original price.
