NYTILLVERKAD by IKEA – When the Past Inspires the Present

14.06.2025

IKEA has always been about smart, functional design at an affordable price, but with the NYTILLVERKAD collection, the Swedish giant is reaching into its archives to breathe new life into forgotten classics. The name "Nytillverkad" translates to "newly made" and perfectly describes the idea behind this vibrant, limited series. These are not just reproductions but thoughtful reinterpretations of pieces from the 1950s to the 1990s, redesigned with a modern twist.

A Colorful Tribute to IKEA History

Each wave of the NYTILLVERKAD collection is rooted in a different design decade. From bold graphic patterns to playful furniture silhouettes, the collection captures the spirit of vintage IKEA while feeling completely current. This is not nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. It's about celebrating timeless ideas with updated materials, colors, and a fresh perspective.

Expect glossy finishes, bold shapes, sculptural lighting and expressive seating. Bright orange, electric blue, sunshine yellow and earthy tones dominate the palette, transforming everyday items into statement pieces.

Highlights from the Collection

One standout is the DYKARKLOCKA lampshade, a dramatic reinterpretation of classic pendant forms. Its sculptural shape and pleated surface bring texture and visual rhythm to any room, creating a cozy light effect while making a bold design statement.

The SKÅLBODA armchair features a bold wireframe metal structure, available in both bright orange and classic black. With no built-in upholstery, it invites you to customize it with graphic cushions or throws. The orange version adds vibrant contrast and energy to the room, while the black version feels grounded and dramatic. Both are part of the NYTILLVERKAD collection's nod to playful, postmodern design and are ideal for creating a striking reading nook or statement corner.

Lighting continues to play a strong role in this drop. The HAVSFJÄDER ceiling lampshade combines retro volume with contemporary softness. Its cloud-like form diffuses light beautifully and adds a whimsical feel to the space. Whether hung in a cluster or alone, it becomes an artistic focal point in any room.

Limited, But Not to Be Missed

NYTILLVERKAD is available for a limited time only. Launches began in 2023, with additional drops throughout 2024 and 2025. Items rotate quickly, and some have already sold out or disappeared from select markets. This makes the collection feel both fresh and collectible, especially for long-time IKEA fans who recognize these shapes from old catalogs.

Availability depends on region, but most items are sold both online and in selected IKEA stores. If you're lucky enough to spot a full in-store setup, it's worth capturing. These displays are often styled with a sense of fun and freedom that goes beyond the standard showroom floor.

A Collection Worth Documenting

NYTILLVERKAD is more than a product launch. It's a design moment that reflects IKEA's cultural relevance and deep archive of iconic forms. Whether you're into playful lighting, sculptural chairs or retro textures, this collection is a standout. All photos in this article were taken by Mauritz.
