The Cavelli armchair, which is just one of five made in that style, was purchased from the Swedish furniture behemoth in 1959. As well as the chair, a £2 wall print, a recliner and other armchairs also made big bucks at the Barneby's sale. Other IKEA items have also sold for several times their original price under the hammer. The flat-pack giant's customers are being urged not to ditch their furniture as keeping and selling the items could pay for their children's university fees. A print named The girls go in the ring, which was made for IKEA in 1972, sold for more than 100 times its original price at £290. A pair of Skopa armchairs designed by Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen and Torben Lind and purchased for less than a fiver sold for £210. Another £8 Åke armchair from the late 1950s sold for an astonishing £2,836. Pontus Silfverstolpe, antiques expert and founder of Barnebys said: 'The flat package fortune continues to surprise the auction world, but we have more peaks to look forward to. 'It is especially designer furniture from the 1950s and 1980s from Ikea that costs more and more on the second-hand market. 'The furniture that is most attractive to collectors and design enthusiasts is that they are innovative designs for their time, made of good materials and in a limited edition or manufacturing period. 'Some of these famous Ikea designs by leading artists can be considered collector's items and have become a hard currency at auction. 'It would not surprise me if in time some of this furniture ends up in one of the world's major design museums. 'Ikea's founder Ingvar Kamprad has been our biggest role model for Swedish entrepreneurship for decades. 'In the same way that he democratised an entire industry in his quest to furnish people's home, Barnebys' ambition is to democratise the auction industry and get the whole world to buy sustainable, quality furniture from the secondary market at a time when excessive consumption is called into question.'
