IKEA is ready to take you on a trip down memory lane with the next installment of its popular Nytillverkad collection, where it reboots archival favorites.

The fourth drop of the series, launching globally in April 2024, aims to inspire blooming good times with items evoking optimism and free-spiritedness through bold colors like sunshine yellow and groovy green, alongside cheerful floral patterns that homage the iconic designs of Göta Trägårdh. These vibrant motifs will be splashed across textiles like the KRANSMALVA and SANDETERNELL ranges, adding a touch of retro flair to any room.

Making its comeback tour is the GOGO chair, or rather, its successor, the ÖNNESTAD armchair. Originally launched in 1972, the GOGO was a steel-tube design known for its simple elegance. The ÖNNESTAD, a comfy update, stays true to its muse’s form but with a modern and more thoughtful twist. It’s lighter, thanks to clever use of high-strength steel, and comes in various colorways to suit any décor, from sunshine yellow to a calming moss green and even a sleek gray and red.

“We went from 6.8 kg [15 lbs] steel to 3.3 kg [7.28 lbs], giving us twice as many armchairs for the same amount of material,” explains Håkan Käll, material and innovation developer at IKEA of Sweden.

As IKEA elaborates in the press release, “High-strength steel has better mechanical properties than conventional steel and enables the production of lighter designs. Using high-strength steel in furniture makes it possible to reduce the weight of the furniture and frequently adapt the design. More lightweight structures lead to lower material consumption reducing environmental impact, since less material needs to be produced and transported.”

Other revamped classics include the DYKARKLOCKA pendant lampshade, inspired by the groovy TIVOLI design from 1964, featuring a spherical shade in bold colors or classic white.
