Hello IKEA fans!
I need some help from someone who has been familiar with IKEA for over 20 years: I moved into a house in 1995 that had a shelving unit in the basement similar to today’s HEJNE. After moving again around the turn of the millennium, I bought additional parts to expand it. From what I remember, the shelving unit was called IVAR back then, but there is currently a small disagreement about this that needs to be clarified...
It was assembled with black screws like the current HEJNE. There were two depths, two widths, and two different heights, and it was made of simple softwood. Later on, there were also (pre-assembled) wine racks as shelves (initially with cross slats with a triangular cross-section, later with a rectangular cross-section).
The names may have changed several times since then, but what was the shelving unit called between 1995 and 2002? Sten, Gorm, or IVAR?
A photo of the IVAR series from one of the IKEA catalogs from that time would also be helpful by email, if anyone still has one.
Thanks in advance for all replies!

until 2003 it was STEN with the prism-shaped dividers of the bottle shelf, after that GORM with the block-shaped dividers.

If you search for STEN on the IKEA website today, nothing comes up. When you enter GORM, you get the successor HEJNE. As far as I know, STEN was only available after 1999 or 2000 (?), while IVAR existed earlier. I bought the various shaped wine racks between 1995 and 2000 under the IVAR program name. You can still find them under this name on eBay.
Does anyone still have access to catalogs from that time and could possibly upload a photo of the IVAR series from that period here? Thanks in advance!
