The IKEA KONSTRUNDA Collection Turns Everyday Objects Into Art

IKEA constantly updates its collection, from regular product updates to special or limited collections. Today, I can give you a sneak peek at an exciting and artful new collection.

In 2026, we’ve already seen the new PS collection, the playful GREJSIMOJS collection, the recently released KOMPISHÄNG moveable furniture collection, and many more new and exciting products from our favorite Swedish home decor and furniture brand.

And in September, another new collection will be available in stores, allowing you to add artful items to your interior without the high price tag. Let’s take a look at the new KONSTRUNDA collection.

The IKEA KONSTRUNDA collection began with three guiding words: liberated, happy, and fearless. These ideas shaped not only the collection itself, but also the group of designers and artists brought together to create it.

The aim was to find creatives willing to experiment and push boundaries while remaining true to one of IKEA’s core principles: good design should be accessible and affordable.

The result is KONSTRUNDA, a collection that explores new ideas about what art can be, how it can become part of everyday life, and the role it can play in our homes.

Behind the collection is a diverse group of designers and artists, each bringing their own materials, techniques, and creative perspective to the project.

She combines historic techniques and craftsmanship with a clean, contemporary, and playful approach to design.

Several of the products she has created for IKEA have been developed in close collaboration with Indian artisans, bringing traditional skills together with modern production methods and design ideas.

This striking tapestry in bright blue is an easy way to bring color and energy to a plain wall or forgotten corner. Made from recycled polyester, the durable fabric repels dirt and can simply be brushed clean when needed.

Holes along the top make the tapestry easy to hang on the wall. Display it as a statement piece on its own, or mix it with paintings, prints and other wall decorations to create a more personal and layered arrangement.

With its rounded shape and reflective surface, this decorative piece catches the light beautifully and makes an eye-catching addition to any room. Its bowl-shaped design is also practical, providing a stylish place to keep small everyday items.

“We find ourselves in somewhat of a loneliness epidemic where more people live in isolation. This longing led me to explore the idea of objects not just as things, but as companions, silent yet present, filling a space with the spirit of something familiar, like the presence of a friend,” says designer Akanksha Deo.

Their work is rooted in a rational approach to design, with a strong focus on detail and sustainability, while still leaving plenty of room for experimentation and surprise.

In his own work, Emanuele is particularly interested in forward-thinking and sustainable materials. Color, texture, and geometric forms also play an important role in his designs, resulting in pieces that balance practicality with a strong visual identity.

“I guess it’s every creator’s ambition to do the unexpected. It certainly is mine. I want my things to be memorable and intense, even a little bit off. It’s funny that I really enjoy the technical stuff and building things, and on the other hand, I just love the uncomplicated beauty of nature,” says designer Emanuele Stamuli.

The contrasting stripes and natural texture of the ceramic give these vases a modern rustic character. Fill it with flowers for a colorful display, or let its distinctive design stand out as a decorative object on its own.

The bold graphic pattern and unconventional shape turn this soft rug into a statement piece for the floor. Made from wool, it feels warm and comfortable underfoot while offering natural durability and dirt-repellent qualities that make it a practical choice for everyday living.

Her work is defined by simplicity and originality, often accompanied by an unexpected or slightly mysterious quality. Rather than relying on elaborate forms, Reiser uses carefully considered materials and details to give her objects a distinctive character.

“I suppose you could call me a daydream designer. Many of my ideas start as daydreams. A thought here, a thought there. All of a sudden, a design is coming along. I’m not trying to be perfect, and I’m not afraid to get it wrong. I just want to be me, and create things that last for a long time,” says designer Lisa Reiser.

The frosted green glass and the soft wavy shape give this mouth-blown glass decoration a harmonious calm. 

This bowl-shaped decoration puts the beauty of glass craftsmanship in the spotlight. Made from mouth-blown glass with a beautifully polished finish, it works as an elegant decorative piece wherever it is placed.

This silver-lacquered glass sculpture with an organic flowing shape is mouth-blown, making each piece unique. 

This mouth-blown glass vase has a striking matte black finish that makes it a beautiful decorative piece in its own right, whether displayed with flowers or left empty.

Simplicity and efficiency are recurring themes in Masebo’s work. At the same time, he sees objects as a way to tell stories, creating designs that are approachable, understandable, and connected to everyday life.

“I try to put myself in places and spaces where I don’t belong. There is so much energy in that. I’ve always thought that the process is super important, like understanding the intention of the project and how the materials work. The end-result shouldn’t just be an object, but an object with a soul,” says designer Andu Masebo.

The simple cube-shaped design allows the natural beauty of the solid pine to take center stage. A clear lacquer protects the wood while highlighting its distinctive grain and warm character, and the weight of the solid pine gives the stool a sturdy and substantial feel.

The bold blue finish gives this triangular pine stool a striking look, while still allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through. Made from solid pine, its substantial weight gives the stool a sturdy feel, combining an eye-catching shape and color with the wood’s unique character.

The duo creates patterns designed to be used freely and imaginatively, encouraging people to experiment with how and where art appears in their homes.

“We treat pattern and color like play, shifting stripes, blocks, and shapes until something ordinary takes on a new character. It’s serious design, but it never takes itself too seriously.”

Part mirror, part work of art, this eye-catching design brings both function and character to a room. It can be hung on the wall or simply leaned against it, depending on the look you prefer. Either way, the mirror creates a sense of depth while adding a dynamic decorative element to the space.

The playful pattern and bold mix of colors give this wool rug a lively sense of movement, depth and energy. Made from hard-wearing wool, it is naturally resistant to dirt, while the smooth surface makes it easy to vacuum and keep clean.

Quality and longevity are central to Hilland’s approach. Her designs regularly appear at auction houses, reflecting her ambition to create objects that can remain relevant for years and potentially be passed from one generation to the next.

This solid pine stool celebrates the wood’s natural character, with its distinctive grain taking center stage. The clear lacquer protects and preserves the surface while highlighting the beauty of the pine, and the weight of the solid wood gives the stool a sturdy, substantial feel.

The arched silhouette, wavy form, and bold orange color make this decoration a striking statement piece. Its glazed finish adds depth and richness to the rusty orange tone while also helping to protect the surface from dirt and scratches.

Together, these designers give the IKEA KONSTRUNDA collection its varied identity. Different backgrounds, materials and creative approaches come together around a shared idea: art does not have to be exclusive or confined to galleries. It can be playful, useful, experimental and, above all, accessible enough to become part of everyday life.

At IKEA, they don’t claim to define or explain art. Instead, their role is to create space for it. IKEA has extensive knowledge and experience in creating and building things. They understand materials, sizes, proportions, colors, and durability. They have the suppliers and resources to bring ideas to life.

Through the art collections, they share their resources and open channels for the artists behind the objects, allowing their perspective to shine. A world where art is made and valued is a hopeful world.

It’s a world where people are free to experiment and explore, unbound by narrow definitions of what is ‘practical’, ‘measurable’, or ‘useful’. Sometimes, the impractical, the indefinable, and the useless are exactly what we need.

There isn’t much information yet about the exact release date of this collection. In some regions, you can already find these pieces for sale online and in stores. The collection will probably be fully released in September. Click here for the latest IKEA news.
