Have You Seen IKEA’s 2021 Artist Collab Collection Yet?
IKEA, the flatpack juggernaut responsible for revolutionizing home design and the Swedish meatball, has today unveiled a new limited-edition drop of home accessories in partnership with a group of international artists and designers. The 2021 IKEA Art Event—the company’s sixth such collection—features everyday objects playfully reimagined by artist Daniel Arsham (part of the design collective Snarkitecture), Tokyo-based collective Gelchop, Stockholm creative duo Humans Since 1982, Rotterdam-based product designer Sabine Marcelis, and German illustrator Stefan Marx.
“We want to show that being an artist or being a designer does not mean that you have to stay in one box,” said Henrik Most, a company creative director, in a press release. “You can work within different fields, and that this new movement [of straddling different disciplines] has had a profound impact both on the design and art scenes today.”
The 10-piece collection includes a graffiti-influenced vase, a shadowbox of (yes) mini faux drones, and (our personal favorite) lighting inspired by IKEA’s ubiquitous Allen wrench. Select items are available online now, but be sure to check with your local IKEA for in-store availability.
