IKEA’s MITTZON Collection Features Office Furniture With Function and Style in Mind
Over the past few years, IKEA has been looking at office configurations and wondering how they can be reworked. It’s no secret that most modern offices leave a lot to be desired, both in terms of aesthetics and often practicality too.
This is the main idea behind the MITTZON collection; a flexible, ergonomic, and simple line of furniture that will completely transform any office space—whether you’re sharing it with others or working alone.
“With MITTZON, our goal was to develop an office system that can establish the foundation for a truly flexible, comfortable, and healthy environment, where everyone can find a suitable place to work, feel motivated and inspired,” says Philip Dilé, Product Design Developer at IKEA of Sweden AB, in an official statement from IKEA.
The pieces in the MITTZON collection are designed to be multi-use and extremely adjustable. Hybrid office spaces are often difficult to configure with employees transitioning in and out of the office; this means that each piece in the MITTZON collection is easy to move and comes with multiple ways to set it up and store it.
The soothing green ergonomic MITTZON desks, for example, can transition from sitting to standing desks, attach to one another to form a large conference table, roll around on wheels, and can even flip sideways for easy storage when not in use.
IKEA also highlights employee focus with the MITTZON collection. There are a variety of options for soundproof privacy screens (which are also customizable), and all of them are designed to block out as much noise as possible from surrounding cubicles—a much more pleasant way to create an open office layout. Plus, each piece is designed with calm, minimalist colors and natural wood tones of the collection—relaxing to both the eye and the mind.
“We worked with experts in the field to consider not only the physical body but also what affects the senses, and therefore focus and wellbeing, in an office environment, and we’ve incorporated those findings into the development of MITTZON,” adds Dilé in an IKEA statement.
The other bonus of the MITTZON collection is that many pieces will work for at-home use—especially if you’re looking to make a small home office more ergonomic, too.
IKEA offers a variety of size options for many of their pieces, so you’ll be able to find furniture that fits in any space. Whether you’re looking for moveable shelving or want a chair that’s built for long periods of use, the MITTZON collection has you covered.
Every item in the collection comes with a ten-year guarantee. IKEA knows how important it is that office furniture doesn’t need to be constantly replaced—the retailer even made many of the MITTZON pieces modular, so an office can slowly upgrade them over time as the needs of the space change.
The collection will feature a total of 85 products and will be released in April 2024.
