IKEA CELEBRATES PAST DESIGN ICONS IN BOLD, VERSATILE NYTILLVERKAD COLLECTION

The launch of the Nytillverkad collection will be available globally in IKEA stores starting February 2025.

IKEA’s sixth edition of the Nytillverkad collection reimagines a range of solitary chairs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, as well as customisable shelves, playful textiles and curvy vases, that are sure to make a splash.

Drawing from the IKEA archives from the 1960s to the 1990s, the latest Nytillverkad collection introduces color-forward designs and products that can be tailored to specific styles and design preferences.

Seating is at the forefront, with the release of four new standalone chairs. Designers featured include Niels Gammelgaard, with his steel tube easy chair MOFALLA. A foldable living room chair, the seat was introduced in the IKEA catalogue in 1978 as COX. Gill Lundgren’s easy chair, previously known as MILA from 1967, returns as the DYVLINGE swivel armchair in bold orange, and the SOTENÄS armchair, introduced in 1969 as PUCK, makes its debut in a cheerful red.

In addition to the scene-stealing chairs, Niels Gammelgaard's GUIDE shelving unit from 1985 will launch as BYAKORRE, a colorful open shelving unit. The reversible shelves are white on one side and anthracite grey on the other, with shelf edges in different colors (blue, green, yellow, and red) or plain white. "I love the idea that you can switch the mood in your home through design," says Gammelgaard. "This piece allows you to play and customize the shelf to your whim, whether you want bold colors or something more subtle."
