Thank you, very interesting! Especially that there is actually not really a name.
I don't know, I don't think IKEA is my style. When I was looking for the new one, I went there as well, but nothing clicked with me. I didn't need anything fancy, as it is just the sleeping room guests usually will not visit, but for me IKEA somehow means it's for people with small budget, like students, having their first flat, but later, when they work and earn proper money, they might get something better. As I left home very late, I jumped that stage and went straight to the better ;)
Everyone used to have them over here. Since we lived in those buildings that were made from concrete panels, it was funny when you visited the neighbours - you immediately felt at home. As there was only one wall where the furniture would be able to go, and on the opposite wall the couch, and in the corner at the window the table. All flats looked the same! And sometimes even the furniture looked the same, given that there was not as much variability.
The exactly same one from my pictures above was also in the room of one of my class mates.
Just for comparison, here is a picture of the one I have in my living room, bought 14 years ago. Back then it was what I wanted. It might look a bit old fashioned now and I wouldn't mind going for something more modern, but as I said, it is hard to come by nowadays. All there is are those open shelves and maybe a drawer or two. That is not enough for me!
