At the end of last year
Ikea
surprised the whole world with the news.
His mythical catalog, which we reviewed in ICON DESIGN decade by decade, would cease to be published after 70 years.
The reason for this "emotional, but rational decision to put an end to it in a respectful way", as explained in its press release, was none other than to adapt to new times and an increasingly technological public.
The novelties of the brand were not limited to doing without its paper magazine.
At the beginning of 2020, Ikea broke its own rule of not succumbing to sales with a selection of furniture and decorative objects from its catalog at reduced prices under the umbrella of
latest units.
This action was repeated in summer and now it points to the furor for
discounts
that religiously dictates the arrival of January around the world.
Next, we show you some of the opportunities that you can find both on its website and in the brand's physical stores for a limited period of time or until stocks run out.
1. Nikkeby clothing donkey
The myth of the chair with piled clothes comes to an end with this stained steel wardrobe.
It has two heights and several shelves to put a bit of sanity in that chaos that forms inside the bedroom when we take off our clothes.
It can also serve as auxiliary furniture in the hall or as a shelf for plants.
29 euros
(its original price was 49 euros).
2. Risatorp Basket
Eliminating plastic storage and replacing it with more durable and reusable formulas should be a priority in 2021. This fruit and vegetable basket made of steel and birch sheets is much more resistant than the classic container, and you only need to clean it from time to time when with a damp cloth.
Perforated mesh allows air to circulate so food lasts longer.
4 euros
(its original price was 7 euros).
3. Folkja Mirror
The invoice by hand is not at odds with the Ikea label.
This solid pine and braided poplar design by Willy Chong is made in an artisan workshop and is coated with a colorless varnish film to prevent any damage to the wood if the glass breaks.
It can be hung both vertically and horizontally.
9 euros
(its original price was 19 euros).
4. Kapaster blanket
Its subtle print, inspired by the bark of trees and snow-covered fields, was one
of the Swedish brand's
greatest
hits
in 2019. Designed in cotton yarn and soft colors, this blanket was part of a collection that invited relaxation and a
slow
way of life
with each of its objects.
10 euros
(its original price was 20 euros).
The discount applies to the blue and white models.
5. Hilver table
Telecommuting is here to stay for a long time.
Conditioning our work area at home with multipurpose furniture will make the task easier.
Made of sustainable and renewable bamboo wood, this table will double as a desk, dining table and game desk.
109 euros
(its original price was 139 euros).
6. Grimsås Lamp
Origami-shaped screens that project a play of light and shadow onto the ceiling have become an Ikea archive classic.
Despite its generous dimensions, this model designed by Marcus Arvonen and Bea Szenfeld seems to float in the air thanks to perforations with the silhouette of sea stars.
29 euros
(its original price was 59 euros).
The promotion is applied in stores on the model in yellow.
7. Ypperlig Bank
For us it is a game and stunt proof seat.
In the case of children, the possibilities skyrocket.
It could act as a train car, a pony, or even a pirate ship.
This sturdy and almost idestructible bench is made of solid wood and polypropylene plastic to withstand all the challenges your imagination throws at you.
29 euros
(its original price was 39 euros).
8. Färgrik tableware
That New Year's resolution of getting rid of all the uneven dishes and renewing them for a new tableware, complete and for the day to day, will not be a problem for the pockets with this
set
of 18 pieces.
Designed in turquoise stoneware, its resistant finish allows it to be put in the dishwasher or in the microwave.
Includes six dinner plates, six bowls and six small ones for dessert.
15 euros
(its original price was 25 euros).
9. Lierskogen bedside table
The creator of the mythical Fixa box, who has helped many people to find their way into the complex task of DIY, also signs this key piece for any bedroom.
Henrik Preutz shows off his ability to use space to the millimeter with this side table that can be adjusted to different heights.
Includes a circular shelf as storage space.
19 euros
(its original price was 39 euros).
10. Möjlighet bed covers
Raise your hand if you haven't covered your first bed with an Ikea design.
With this duvet cover and pillow, and its colorful print in tribute to the Memphis group, you can level up that quilt from the college years.
12 euros
(its original price was 19 euros).
11. Behärska Lantern
During confinement, the consumption of candles skyrocketed due to the imperative need to provide the home with a warmer environment.
Whether aromatic, shaped like a sculpture, or –the latest trend– with soy wax, the perforated shade of this lantern will enhance its soft and decorative light in any corner of the house.
6 euros
(its original price was 10 euros).
12. Bajk alarm clock
Toy-shaped designs, so prolific in the 1980s, have always had a privileged place in the Ikea catalog.
The silent quartz mechanism and LED backlighting of this alarm clock that recalls the room of our childhood is the result of a collaboration between the designers M. Warnhammar and A. Fredriksson, members of the brand's creative team.
6 euros
(its original price was 8 euros).
The promotion is applied in stores on the model in dark blue.
13. Glumsö carpet
Carpets are an easy and inexpensive way to insulate your floor against sudden changes in temperature and act as a shield against noise.
This Ikea model is made with lyocell fiber, a material of natural origin that generates a minimal impact on the environment.
With a discreet version of the
animal print,
its print is as soft and shiny to the touch as silk.
Allows vacuum cleaning.
99 euros
(its original price was 149 euros).
Offer available only in store in the dark gray model and with measurement
s
65x240 cm.
14. Måckebo ceiling lamp
LED bulbs are the most sustainable and long-lasting energy-saving alternative to those of a lifetime.
The
vintage
design
of the Rollsbo model, which mimics the filaments of incandescent bulbs from the beginning of the last century, is the perfect contrast for this industrial-style ceiling lamp.
In duo they will serve as a powerful focus for the kitchen work area.
9 euros
(its original price was 14 euros).
