“Colors are never alone; they need company,” says Christoph Brach, cofounder of Dutch design studio Raw Color. When Brach and his partner (in business and life), Daniera ter Haar, were approached by IKEA to design an 18-piece line of affordable carafes, pillows, rugs, lampshades, rolling carts, blankets, and mugs, they delivered a prismatic collection that includes 15 hues.

That might not sound like a lot—until you see how they all play out on the products. The lampshades feature three tiers that transition from dark to lighter tones, each layer catching and reflecting light in a different way. The wool rug has the same striped pattern on both sides, so you can turn it over for longer use. The storage unit is on casters and made up of three cubbies, each one a different bold shade and size.

Fittingly, IKEA debuted the super-colorful collection at Paris Fashion Week, where the company took over 28 Rue de Lappe to also showcase a new collection of portraits by Annie Leibovitz. Ever since we heard about the news a month ago, we’ve been patiently awaiting this day: Raw Color’s Tesammans line with IKEA is officially available for purchase in-store and online.

One of the star pieces in the assortment is the powder-coated side table, which happens to use Brach and ter Haar’s favorite color: pink. “We really love pink. It’s not too bright, [and it] goes nicely with many different tones,” the duo shared in a recent Q&A with IKEA.

$40

The table’s wavy red shell comes with a light blush top that—you guessed it—pops off to reveal hidden storage inside. When the lid is on, the $40 piece measures just shy of 15 inches tall, which means it can also double as a nightstand next to a low-profile bed. The bonus compartment can hold it all: a stack of books, rolled-up blankets, kids’ toys. And it’s further proof of Raw Color’s concept: The two hues are better together.
