“
I’m fascinated by light. I love that it’s ever-changing and that it can activate objects, bringing a dynamic quality to static things.

The wonder of light

This collection marks the beginning of an IKEA journey to explore how light can transform the atmosphere of our homes and mindset for the better.

Delight in doughnuts

The ‘doughnut’ is one of Sabine Marcelis’ signature shapes and features in two different forms in the VARMBLIXT collection – as a striking glass bowl in two sizes and as a wall/table lamp.

VARMBLIXT doughnut-shaped serving bowls in green and orange are arranged on a grey surface with VARMBLIXT wall/table lamps.

An inspiring collaboration

The VARMBLIXT products showcase Sabine’s unique design language, characterised by an intuitive understanding of light and colour, alongside the design principles of IKEA. The collection can be used creatively throughout the home.

We are playing with different elements of light – the temperature, colour, indirect light and reflections – which amplify the emotional atmosphere.

For magic moments

The collection includes this elegant glass cocktail set, consisting of a tray with metal handles, carafe, champagne coupe, glass and drinks stirrers. When they catch the light, the objects create dreamy reflections.
