The VARMBLIXT collection — when light comes to life

We’ve teamed up with award-winning designer Sabine Marcelis on a new collection that explores the emotional possibilities of light at home. Consisting of sculptural lighting products and stylish home accessories, this eye-catching collection is set to bring warmth and positivity into your home.

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.

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.

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.

Lifted up by light

As part of a long-term goal, IKEA is exploring the shift from light that serves a specific function in the home to light that has an emotional impact and contributes to our wellbeing, too.
