The products range from classic furniture to bedding and accessories reimagined for today’s needs - from the stackable DOMSTEN stool in modern colours, to the iconic KRYPKORNELL pattern incorporated across affordable home furnishings.
According to an IKEA spokesperson, the collection aims to stay true to the original designs while incorporating updated materials, resulting in a range that will evoke classic Scandinavian style while staying true to their functionality.
Fredrika Inger, managing director at IKEA of Sweden, said: “At IKEA, the past, the present, and the future are all connected. We’ve designed many functional and beautiful home furnishing products during the last 80 years, and it’s only natural that we get curious about our achievements in the past.
