IKEA is closing its NYTILLVERKAD time capsule with the sixth and final drop of fresh spins on beloved designs from the past. The latest array reintroduces statement seating, customizable shelving, playful textiles, and sculptural vases—all pulled from the furniture giant’s archives spanning the 1960s through the 1980s.

With bold colors, soft curves, and versatile design updates, this collection is both a tribute to IKEA’s heritage and a reflection of how vintage pieces can still feel right at home in the present.

At the center of this farewell collection are four standalone chairs, each rooted in IKEA’s design history. Niels Gammelgaard’s MOFALLA chair, a steel tube design originally introduced in 1978 as COX, returns with its sleek, foldable form. Gill Lundgren’s MILA chair from 1967 has been reborn as DYVLINGE, a bright orange swivel armchair, while the PUCK armchair from 1969 gets a bold red makeover as SOTENÄS.

Adding to the mix, Gammelgaard’s GUIDE shelving unit from 1985 is making a comeback as BYAKORRE, a vibrant, open shelving system that can be customized to suit different styles. The reversible shelves feature white on one side and anthracite gray on the other, with colorful edges in blue, green, yellow, and red, allowing users to change the look to match their mood.

“I love the idea that you can switch the mood in your home through design,” Gammelgaard notes, emphasizing the playful and adaptable nature of the piece.

The selection also pays tribute to designer Erik Wørts with the GUTTANE side and coffee tables, a modern interpretation of his NOVETTE benches from 1963. Crafted with solid oak legs and oak veneer tabletops, the tables retain Wørts’ signature raised ledge, a practical design element that helps keep books, cups, and magazines in place.

Meanwhile, textiles take a whimsical turn with the ÄNGSVITVINGE bed linen, a dreamy blue-and-white cloud pattern inspired by Sven Fristedt’s 1973 designs, and KLIPPBRÄCKA, a black-and-white update of Anna Efverlund’s playful 1997 popcorn pattern. Efverlund’s influence also extends to the KÄLLARHALS vases, curvy glass designs from 1995 now revived in warm orange and yellow hues.

This final NYTILLVERKAD launch, now available, rounds out IKEA’s six-part journey of reviving vintage gems for contemporary living. With a mix of vibrant colors, soft curves, and adaptable pieces, the collection captures the essence of four decades of design while reconsidering its role in modern homes.
