Since its founding in 1943, IKEA has been a staple in many homes, because of its sleek, modern, and most importantly, affordable furniture offerings. The retailer’s STOCKHOLM collection has been an integral part of its history—in fact, it’s celebrating its 40th birthday this year.
Over the years, STOCKHOLM has gone through eight different editions, but IKEA says each iteration shares “the same defining characteristic: modern Scandinavian design of the highest quality, offered at an affordable price.”
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of STOCKHOLM, IKEA just released STOCKHOLM 2025, which features over 96 pieces of furniture, textiles, lighting, and accessories. For this collection, IKEA says thoughtfully chosen materials take center stage, from solid woods with tactile surfaces to handwoven wool rugs, mouth-blown glass, and handcrafted rattan.
“The purpose of the STOCKHOLM collections has always been to prove that high quality doesn’t need to come at an intimidating cost,” said Karin Gustavsson, Creative Leader for STOCKHOLM, in a press release. “We have worked to create a no-compromise kind of collection where every piece tells a story. Craftsmanship is at the heart of this project, where traditional techniques and hands-on methods have resulted in durable and beautiful design pieces that stand the test of time.”
STOCKHOLM 2025 Armchair
This comfy and cozy armchair has solid oak legs and a cover made of Djurmo, which IKEA explains as a “a teddy-like fabric in cotton and polyester with a distinct texture that is soft to the touch.”
STOCKHOLM 2025 Pendant Lamp
The collection includes two glass chandeliers with a retro feel, like this one that features brass-plated details. It even comes with a pair of white gloves for assembly. (No fingerprints here!)
STOCKHOLM 2025 Cushion Cover
Textile designer Paulin Machado used the forest as a central character in her designs for the collection, which include this cushion cover. “Nature is the best designer—every color matches beautifully in the natural world and you can see how we have tried to capture the hues of Sweden’s seasonal shifts,” she says.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Loveseat
Designed by Ola Wihlborg, this wide modular loveseat comes in four different colors: beige, dark brown, turquoise, and white. “I wanted to create a high-quality sofa that maintains its shape and looks the same even after you stand up from sitting in it. Something that prioritizes comfort without needing extra pillows,” he says.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Pouffe
IKEA describes this ottoman/pouf as “a tribute to modern Scandinavian design.” Use it as an extra seat, a footstool, or coffee table (when you put a tray on it).
STOCKHOLM 2025 Table and 6 Chairs
The sleek dining table in the collection can seat six and features chairs with round backs, giving a sort of retro, mid-century feel.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Bowl
This mouth-blown bowl has a striking jewel-tone color that makes it an eye-catching statement piece.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Bench with Pad
Another tribute to modern Scandinavian design, the bench has a clean, streamlined, modern look. The cushion cover is made of high-quality leather that will develop a beautiful dark patina over time.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Coffee Table
The large round glass and wood coffee table has a versatile style and can fit in pretty much in any space. The glass top can easily be removed to clean.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Rug
Bring the nature inside with this rug with a birch tree pattern. It’s reversible with the same pattern on both sides.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Sofa
The second sofa in the collection is designed by Nike Karlsson, and “serves as an exploration into design without foam.” The sofa is made from woven fabric, natural latex, and coconut fibre.
STOCKHOLM 2025 Wine Glasses
The collection also extends to glassware, dinnerware, and serveware—like these mouth-blown wine glasses.
