Swedish furniture giant IKEA is celebrating its 80th anniversary with a new collection that pays tribute to some of its most iconic designs, presented with contemporary upgrades.
The company describes this new collection, called Nytillverkad, as a way for the brand to go back to its roots, while embracing the popularity of vintage furniture through a fresh and bold take on its own classic pieces.
Available in stores since July, the collection is described by IKEA as loud, colourful and fun, and features a range of furniture, bedding and accessories that is loyal to the original designs, but reinvented in bright shades and modern materials.
Among them, the Domsten stool, with a smooth pine top and metal legs in a range of bright colours, which draws inspiration from the Jerry stool designed by Karin Mobring, and the Bondskäret coat stand, a striking reinterpretation of the Smed coat stand, originally developed by designer Rutger Andersson in 1978.
IKEA’s Managing Director, Fredrika Inger, expressed, “With Nytillverkad, we are returning to the future, again. In multiple launches over the next few years, we will release a series of carefully selected products from our design archive, updated to match the bold outlook of the next generation.”
