IKEA celebrates past design icons that are bold and versatile in the newest Nytillverkad collection
The 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. The launch of the Nytillverkad collection will be available globally in IKEA stores starting February 2025.
Drawing from the IKEA archives from the 1960s to the 1990s, the latest Nytillverkad collection introduces colour-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. Gillis 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 colourful open shelving unit. The reversible shelves are white on one side and anthracite grey on the other, with shelf edges in different colours (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 customise the shelf to your whim, whether you want bold colours or something more subtle.”
"Simply adding one piece from this collection will make a statement, with items that can also change form and colour to fit each individual home," says Karin Gustavsson, creative leader of the Nytillverkad collection." We have pulled inspiration from four decades, reimagining the pieces to feel fresh and new. You will find a palette of bold colours, as well as softer, curvier accent pieces and playful prints to make every day that little bit more joyful.”
Esteemed designer Erik Wørts’ NOVETTE benches from 1963 are updated as the GUTTANE side and coffee tables. With their solid oak legs and oak veneer tabletops, the pieces are both elegant and functional, including the characteristic ledge designed to catch stray magazines and cups from falling off the edge.
Textiles are also featured in the collection, including the ÄNGSVITVINGE bed linen, a dreamy print of blue clouds against a white background, inspired by textile designer Sven Fristedt’s blue and white pattern from 1973. In addition, designer Anna Efverlund’s playful bed linen inspired by her popcorn pattern MODIG KORN from 1997, is released in black-and-white as KLIPPBRÄCKA. Apart from her textiles, her aesthetic lends softer touches to the collection, showcasing her curvy SNURRA glass vases from 1995, now back as KÄLLARHALS, coloured with clear lacquer in yellow and orange.
The Nytillverkad collection is a celebration of vintage designs reimagined for the needs of today and tomorrow. The sixth launch of the Nytillverkad collection will be available at IKEA stores globally and online starting in February 2025.
