IKEA Unveils Premier Selection – Milan Design Week Highlights Must-Have Items for Home Enthusiasts
Sitting next to IKEA designer Ola Wihlborg in Sweden, I struggled to let slip that I once owned (and reluctantly sold) the exquisite sofa he created for IKEA's 2017 STOCKHOLM collection. He was thrilled, even sharing that he has the same sofa in his own home. But that wasn't the reason I found myself there, oh no. I was there for a much better reason: to preview IKEA's grand 2025 STOCKHOLM collection!
First debuted in 1985, IKEA's STOCKHOLM collection was the brand's response to customers seeking something more premium. The collection's higher price point allows the designers to push boundaries, while maintaining the flat-pack convenience we all know and love. This latest collection? Perhaps the best yet.
The emphasis is on premium materials, like real timber for the foundations, wrapped in veneer, giving the furniture a refined feel. Materiality isn't just about species, it goes deeper, like thickness, screamin' style! And the real game-changer? Finding ways to hide fittings and fixtures, leaving you with a minimalist, sleek look.

And while the sofa I previously owned was a standout piece, the latest collection has all been given the same level of care. So, if you're hoping to find the next generation of viral IKEA pieces, this is it.
Better still, they've developed a special lacquer that protects the furniture, showcasing the unique texture of the timber. This new lacquer has been through countless trials to ensure durability and a colossal amount of style.
Whether you're a fan of stained wood or not, this collection offers a plethora of options to embrace a bit of color without sacrificing the wood's unique grain.
This red bentwood chair by Nike Karlsson is a perfect example of uniqueness from the collection. The chair is hand- crafted with the special technique of bending beech, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that's both labor-intensive and absolutely stunning. And yes, even this piece comes flat-packed!
Hoping for a curated collection without the hassle of sourcing? The STOCKHOLM collection has been designed to work seamlessly together, allowing you to create a cohesive look without matching everything perfectly. From table to flatware, crockery, and vases, you can furnish an entire room from one place, but make it look like you've spent years collecting items for your space.
Finally, sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty that is IKEA's 2025 STOCKHOLM collection. From sleek modular sofas to handwoven rugs, this collection has it all.
