2 What to expect... IKEA s latest limited-edition collection, Re-imagined Classics embraces some of its most iconic products, which have stood the test time, in terms of both quality and design style. Products in the range take inspiration from the decades from 50s to 00s and bring back some fan favourites with a modern makeover to turn old classics into new classics. Clotilde Passalacqua from IKEA UK and Ireland says: The new Re-imagined Classics collection is to be kept and looked after in the home forever. The products within the collection were favourites when they were first introduced and IKEA is showing that these designs are still current now, decades after they were first created. IKEA is always looking for inspiration in its design history and is now showing how its iconic products can withstand the test of time and fit perfectly in everyday life at home in the modern world.

3 CLASSIC COMEBACKS PH Step into the s; a time in IKEA that brought about some of its very first iconic products. The designs capture a sombre expression where darker woods meet classic lines. An icon is an icon because it s unexpected, or considered an innovation of its time. Like the LÖVBACKEN table (previously known as LÖVET), such a cool statement piece, with only three legs, the tips covered in metal. It was our first flat-pack product, says Karin Gustavsson. Ironically, the flat-pack idea came about by chance. IKEA co-worker, Gillis Lundgren spontaneously decided to remove the legs of the table to make it fit into his tiny car and avoid damage during transit. Today, almost all IKEA products are flat-packaged. In other words: easier transportation and less trucks on the road.

5 PH PH IKEA launched the handmade GANGET armchair in 1958 when its first store opened in Älmhult, Sweden. During the grand opening, all journalists had the chance to sit in the armchair s round design - a representation of a more optimistic future.

6 PH SMAKKÄNSLA glass 6.50/6 pack TILLPLATTAD tray VÄLFYLLD decorative bowl Some of the products are icons of vintage furniture - they re everywhere today! I still buy IKEA vintage in auctions and second-hand shops. - Karin Gustavsson, IKEA Creative Leader BJURÅN chair 80 Dark brown TILLPLATTAD tray IKEA PRESS KIT / 2018 / 6

7 PH MODERN HACKS Celebrating creativity, curiosity and the DIY movement, IKEA and Scholten & Baijings have hacked KLIPPAN and POÄNG, creating new accessories that make it easy for everyone to repurpose one of our most classic sofas and bring new variety into the POÄNG family. In the collection, two quilted covers along with beautifully designed new legs, are available for KLIPPAN, together with three POÄNG chairs in new colours and quilted covers. The products are designed with a keen eye for detail. Sitting on the furniture pieces reveals extra colours and detailing. They all have their own patterns that complement each other when used together. IKEA PRESS KIT / 2018 / 7

8 PH PH POÄNG armchair 85 LYSKRAFT leg, 4 pack 20 Our design process is a little different compared to others. We work more like artists as we always try new routes and approaches, keeping our process creative and dynamic. - Carole Baijings IKEA PRESS KIT / 2018 / 8

9 FUN FAVOURITES PH We re reminiscing back to the 70 s and 80 s with a smile on our faces. It was bold, colourful and fun. And of course, no one in IKEA can talk about this era without mentioning the beloved KLIPPAN sofa. I just love the covers that are like puffy jackets - they re cool and colourful. It s a tribute to the Memphis group, an 80 s design movement that was very popular during that time. The KLIPPAN sofa was one of the first affordable sofas we had to offer, which is why it s an icon of its time, says Karin. Launched upon declaring the living room for children, KLIPPAN was created with the idea of a sofa that could withstand the human need to play. For this launch, new covers will come in a bright yellow, fiery red and a cool cobalt blue.

10 PH PH When launched in 1983, RÅANE armchair was called JÄRPEN. Designer Niels Gammelgaard wanted to challenge the idea of an armchair and see if it was possible to make it comfortable without any filling or fabric. The solution? Mesh material designed resource-efficiently.

11 PH14P858 H During the 80 s Åsa Gray made some beautiful colourful designs for IKEA. She was one of our iconic designers and so very Scandinavian. I particularly like the rugs and cushions - they re significant for that time period. - Karin Gustavsson, IKEA Creative Leader TYNGDKRAFT candlestick, set of 3 TBC MORGONDOFT mug KLIPPAN 2-seat sofa 240 Ransta blue MOSAIKBLAD cushion cover 5.50 Black/white IKEA PRESS KIT / 2018 / 11

12 MINIMAL MUST-HAVES PH Looking back upon the 90 s, it doesn t feel all too long ago, right? It s simple and minimal, mixing untreated, blonde Scandinavian woods with graphic patterns. During the 90 s, we went for a more natural expression. I think the sculptural furniture of Thomas Sandell is iconic. The small bench with wheels on one end, and legs on the other, was a design piece desired by so many people at that time, says Karin Gustavsson. Its sleek design comes with a good dose of functionality thanks to its hidden storage. Place in the hallway, the bedroom, or why not as a small bench in the living room?

13 PH The IKEA PS bench was launched in the first PS collection back in Using PS in letters means Post Scriptum - an addition to what you ve already been writing. In other words, it symbolises that IKEA added something extra to offer. With the PS collection IKEA wanted to challenge and explore what Scandinavian modern design could be and look like.

14 PH PH PH BJURÅN chair, formerly known as ÖGLA, was first launched back in To this day it s still manufactured by the same factory in Poland, and the solid wood bent in the same artisanal way. It s a real statement piece, don t you agree? Place it by itself as a single pop of colour, or as a set around your dining table.

15 PH SIPPRUTA textiles were designed for the first IKEA PS collection back in The idea was to create a textile base for the PS collection consisting of classic and timeless patterns, designed to last a long time. New cushion covers are the perfect solution for instantly changing the mood of a room. IKEA PS 1999 armchair TBC SIPPRUTA cushion cover TBC/each L50 W50cm.
