The new PELLO
Sep. 15th, 2008 12:21 pmEvery budget-minded bachelor should know about POÄNG, IKEA's wood-framed armchair for the budget-minded. For $89, you get a frame and a cushion. If you have more to spend, you can either upgrade the cushion to something fancier, or buy a matching footstool, or both.
I went there over the weekend and found out there's a new, cheaper option called PELLO, which is a white cushion on a birch effect frame. I actually couldn't tell the difference between the PELLO and a POÄNG with the same colors.
That's a little sad because my own POÄNG is white on birch, to match the rest of my living room. But I originally had the black cushions. And I like the idea that if I bought a black EKTORP slipcover for $100, I can transform my entire living room's color scheme in just a few minutes.
