IKEA STOCKHOLM 2025 Collection: Classic Designs Made Of Natural Materials

It’s a happy day! IKEA launches the eighth edition of the iconic STOCKHOLM collection, marking its 40th anniversary with its most extensive collection yet.

STOCKHOLM 2025 features 96 new products crafted from premium materials that embody the essence of Scandinavian design. These include sofas, hand-woven wool rugs, chandeliers, and mouth-blown glass vases.

Since its debut in 1985, the STOCKHOLM collection has evolved with each release, always defined by its commitment to modern, high-quality Scandinavian design at an accessible price.

Now, in its largest collection ever, IKEA STOCKHOLM 2025 presents a comprehensive assortment of furniture, textiles, lighting, and home accessories. The spotlight is on materials—carefully chosen for their quality, longevity, and the way they interact over time.

Solid woods pair with tactile surfaces and natural fibers like linen, leather, and wool to create pieces with distinct character. Expect everything from sturdy wooden furniture and hand-woven rugs to artisanal glass and handcrafted rattan.

This new collection is designed to last and will remain part of IKEA’s regular range. Three designers, each with a unique yet harmonious design perspective, have collaborated to shape a collection that feels unified while allowing each piece to stand on its own.

Drawing inspiration from the city of Stockholm, the collection captures the contrast between urban life and surrounding nature with earthy tones, natural woods, and textiles that echo the landscapes and colors of the region.

The two distinctly different sofas were designed to act as hubs for the collection. Designer Ola Wihlborgs’ wide modular sofa, available in four colors including a deep turquoise velvet, was born out of his frustration with sofas that constantly needed to have their cushions fluffed. 

The second statement sofa, designed by Nike Karlsson, has a solid pine frame and white cushions. The sofa is made from natural materials and consists of woven fabric, natural latex, and coconut fiber, which gives the sofa exceptional comfort and a timeless look.

Rattan was a central material in STOCKHOLM 2017, and Nike’s iconic rattan cabinet became a sought-after favorite. In the new collection, Nike introduces a sliding door cabinet with a surface of hand-woven rattan.

”It’s all about the details, from the design to the material choices. Like with the dining chairs, where we used oak because it ages with grace, leather seating for comfort, and a beautifully curved back so guests can linger for hours.” says designer Ola Wihlborg

The raw nature of the materials permeates the entire collection, where chairs, bookshelves, and dining tables demonstrate both detailed craftsmanship and clever construction. The result is an elegant, clean design that is strong and will last over time.

The bentwood chairs are made using a traditional technique where beech wood is soaked and gently bent by hand to form soft, rounded arches in the arms and back.  

From pure wool to genuine leather – every single material of every single product that’s part of the STOCKHOLM 2025 collection has been carefully selected, all to offer comfort, durability, and tactility.

Over the past three years, the designers of the IKEA STOCKHOLM collection have been on a journey to create a no-compromise kind of collection, where every piece tells a story of what quality is all about.

For example, the rugs have all been handwoven by skilled artisans, where traditional techniques have been passed down from generation to generation.

The chairs are made of solid oak, which only gets more beautiful with time. All vases are mouthblown, and the chandeliers come with white gloves to wear during assembly. The details make all the difference in the Ikea Stockholm collection.

The shelf’s detail no. 1 is the fitting with which the shelves are mounted. The shelf is assembled with a hidden fitting that stabilizes the shelf and enables airy construction without a back panel or braces.

In a country where more than half is covered by forest, the great outdoors plays a significant role in the life of a Swede. Up here in the north, autumns are rainy, winters are snow-filled, springtimes are unreliable, and during summer, the sun never sets.

With the STOCKHOLM 2025 collection, IKEA has captured the hues and moods across all four seasons, as well as the materials, organic shapes, and forest-inspired patterns than can be found there.

Simply put, the collection offers a Scandinavian design that echoes Sweden’s beautiful landscape and design heritage, with all te bells and whistles it can muster.

The forest is central to textile designer Paulin Machado’s designs, including lampshades adorned with leaf and mushroom patterns and color combinations taken directly from the Scandinavian seasons.

Her collection of 100 percent wool rugs are handwoven and feature birch patterns that bring nature into the home. Blankets and pillowcases in merino wool in multi-colored patterns add a dramatic touch. 

The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection 2025 will be available online and in stores from April 10th. For more IKEA Collections, you can look at this article.
