IKEA offers the UPPÅKRA upholstery covers divided into three distinct material collections: Axvall, Johanneshov, and Samsala. Each series offers a specific texture profile and a dedicated color palette.
The Axvall collection features a tightly woven fabric with a smooth, uniform surface texture that provides a structured, minimalist appearance. It is highly resistant to piling and maintains clean lines over extended use.
Available color variants:
Axvall dark grey-blue: A deep, cool neutral with distinct slate blue undertones.
Axvall off-white: A light, soft ivory shade that avoids stark architectural white tones.
The Johanneshov series is characterized by a slightly more textured weave, blending different thread weights to create a rich visual depth. It offers a softer tactile feel while retaining structural durability.
Available color variants:
Johanneshov brown-beige: A warm, neutral greige tone that balances earthy sand and soft gray hues.
Johanneshov dark grey: A charcoal-toned option designed to absorb light evenly and minimize visible staining.
The Samsala collection is the most comprehensive color series for the UPPÅKRA sofa. It features a robust, heavy-duty weave with a classic look, offering a wide spectrum of warm neutrals, earthy tones, and deep primary variants.
Available color variants:
Samsala yellow/brown: A warm, ochre-tinted neutral.
Samsala dark blue: A solid, deep navy tone.
Samsala dark brown: A rich, espresso-like dark wood tone.
Samsala red-brown: A warm, terracotta-leaning rust shade.
