Colours

Sabine sees colour as a tool that can evoke very different connotations. A sense of warmth was her goal while picking colours for the VARMBLIXT collection.

Shapes

Simple forms have always fascinated Sabine, especially doughnuts! For her, they become even more interesting when translucent, allowing light to flow through.

Materials

A mix of materials feature in the collection: some opaque, some translucent, some smooth, some textured – each playing with light in delightfully different ways.

“I think it’s important to surround yourself with pieces that bring a sense of positivity and lightness to life, so I hope the VARMBLIXT collection does just that.” – Sabine Marcelis

The joy of light

For Sabine, something as simple as light has the power to transform how we feel within a space. Hear how she worked with the VARMBLIXT collection to celebrate the best of both man-made and natural light sources.

Unfortunately the VARMBLIXT collection is no longer available, but there's plenty more new IKEA products at your local online store.
