IKEA has done a great job grabbing our attention—and keeping it—with the roll-out of the Nytillverkad 80th Anniversary Collection. The bold palettes of the iconic Poäng chair and Klippan sofa wiggled their way into our hearts and we haven’t stopped thinking about the tubular Önnestad chair (originally introduced as the Gogo when it was released in 1972). Now, we have the sixth (and final!) edition of the drop to obsess over.
It was tough to play favorites but we pulled together a few moments from the throwback collection that put a smile on our faces.
Ängsvitvinge Bedding, Debuted in 1981
This cloudy print was first created by Sven Fristedt for the 1981 catalogue and it spanned bedding, fabrics, and a wallpaper design. In its most recent iteration, it’s a duvet and pillowcase set that will settle right into your snoozing space—and it’s got concealed buttons for keeping your comforter in place.
Guttane Coffee Table, Debuted in 1963 as Novette
Simple and elegant, the silhouette of this oak table is hard to tie to a decade. Erik Wørts’ design is the perfect perch for your to-be-read pile, a favorite candle, and your slew of workday beverages. Plus, there’s a matching side table.
Mofalla Chair, Debuted in 1978 as the Cox Chair
When it comes to folding chairs, you can never have too many. Designed by Niels Gammelgaard and made of chrome-plated steel and polyester-linen, it’s a stylish option for accommodating last-minute dinner guests.
Dyvlinge Chair, Debuted in 1967 as the Mila Chair
Here’s something fun: this design from Gillis Lundgren was marketed as the “anti-stress armchair” in the 1967 catalog. The colors are refreshing—black, Kelly green, and bright orange—and the five-legged cross base makes sure you won’t tip over when you relax a little too hard.
Gullsudare Lamp Shade, Debuted in the 1960s
Rice paper lamps have been around for a long time, and IKEA worked this design into its inventory back in the ‘60s. The best part: It’s large enough to make a statement but subtle enough to still let other pieces in the room shine.
Källarhals Vase, Debuted in 1995 as Snurra
Your bodega bouquet deserves an upgrade in the form of this sculptural vase. Originally released as Snurra in 1995, designer Anna Efverlund served up a shape that reminds us of beehives and summer naps in the park.
