IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
Minimalist Glow: IKEA BLÅSVERK Table and Pendant Lamp for a Modern Touch

Simple, soft and sculptural — the IKEA BLÅSVERK lighting series delivers contemporary elegance with a calm glow. Available as both a table lamp and a pendant lamp, BLÅSVERK is designed to suit modern interiors that favor smooth lines and diffused light.
Mauritz has captured these clean forms beautifully in photos taken at an IKEA showroom. The table lamp stands with poise, while the pendant version floats effortlessly above the shelf display, both echoing a retro-futuristic look that is unmistakably Scandinavian.

BLÅSVERK Table Lamp
This version is perfect for bedside tables, work desks or sideboards. The mushroom-shaped dome in grey-white glass softens the light, creating a warm atmosphere without glare. Its neutral color palette pairs well with most furniture finishes, whether you lean toward natural wood or sleek matte surfaces.

BLÅSVERK Pendant Lamp
Suspended from the ceiling, the pendant lamp variation is ideal for dining areas, entryways or above a reading nook. It retains the same dome silhouette but makes a bigger visual impact. Despite its minimalist form, the BLÅSVERK pendant becomes a gentle focal point wherever it hangs.

A Consistent Design Language
What makes the BLÅSVERK series stand out is the consistency in shape and glow across both models. You can combine them throughout a room or even across multiple rooms, tying the home together with a unified lighting identity. This is especially effective in open-plan spaces where harmony matters.

Style Tip
For an elevated look, match BLÅSVERK with IKEA furniture that features clean lines and muted tones — such as LISABO, or IDANÄS. Add soft textiles and matte ceramics for a curated and cohesive result.
