Klippan (stylised as KLIPPAN, Swedish: the cliff) is a model of sofa manufactured and sold by IKEA. IKEA's nomenclature conventions name upholstered furniture after places in Sweden. The Klippan sofa is named after Klippan Municipality in Southern Sweden. Klippan was developed by IKEA's product developer and head of design Lars Engman and designer Noboru Nakamura. It was launched in 1980 and continues to be one of IKEA's most popular and longstanding products. It comes in a standard two-seat size (which fits easily through standard house doorways), and can be fitted with a range of removable and interchangeable fabric covers. As well as standard cotton covers, IKEA sells 'exclusive' collections of covers, retiring designs after a year.

dbo:abstract
  • Klippan ist ein Sofamodell des schwedischen Möbelunternehmens IKEA. Es wurde in den 1970er Jahren von dem schwedischen Designer entwickelt und 1979 erstmals verkauft. Es wird seither (Stand 2018) ununterbrochen produziert und zählt zu den am meisten verkauften IKEA-Möbeln. Weltweit wurde das Klippan-Sofa allein zwischen 1998 und 2005 1,5 Millionen Mal verkauft. „Das Klippan-Sofa verkörpert exemplarisch die IKEA-Saga: starkes Design, logistische Effizienz und ständige Kostensenkung.“ Es ist nach dem südschwedischen Ort Klippan benannt. 2017 wurde auch eine Miniaturversion des Klippan-Sofas für Hunde sowie ein Klippan-Puppenmöbel auf den Markt gebracht.

The Klippan sofa is named after Klippan Municipality in Southern Sweden. Klippan was developed by IKEA's product developer and head of design Lars Engman and designer Noboru Nakamura.

It comes in a standard two-seat size (which fits easily through standard house doorways), and can be fitted with a range of removable and interchangeable fabric covers. As well as standard cotton covers, IKEA sells 'exclusive' collections of covers, retiring designs after a year. There have been several functional changes to the Klippan in the past 30 years. The initial model featured a solid wood frame. This has been replaced in contemporary models by a less expensive, lightweight frame of combined particleboard, fiberboard and polyurethane foam. Likewise, while earlier models stood on painted wood legs, contemporary Klippan legs are made from steel or aluminum. In 2004, the sofa was reconstructed so that it could be easily flatpacked and put together at home. Adjustments to the materials used in the sofa and the centralization of production methods allowed IKEA to reduce the price of the Klippan sofa by 40% since 1980. In 2003, the Klippan was used as the standard sofa in a test to compare the British fire safety requirements against the Swedish and mainland European safety requirements. Three Klippans were used, one with no flame retardant treatment, one treated with phosphorus-based flame retardant, and one treated with bromine-based flame retardant. All three sofas were specially manufactured by IKEA in its workshops at Älmhult. In 2005, a large orange Klippan was installed in Frogmoor township to celebrate the opening of a nearby IKEA store. The Klippan was one of two IKEA items to be replicated at five times the actual size. (en)
  • De Klippan is een model zitbank, ontwikkeld door het bedrijf IKEA en ontworpen door Lars Engman. De bank is vernoemd naar de gelijknamige Zweedse gemeente Klippan. Dit model wordt sinds 1980 verkocht en is een van de populairste en langstlopende producten van IKEA. De bank komt standaard in een tweepersoonsuitvoering. De hoes - en dus het uiterlijk - van de Klippan kan makkelijk vervangen worden. De invloed van het ontwerp blijkt onder meer uit het feit dat de Klippan-bank is opgenomen in de collectie van het Centraal Museum in Utrecht. (nl)
