Ikea stockholm collection: Quick notes
It’s the end of the year, and this week we’re taking a look back at nine of the top stories of 2025, like this one:
Every once in a while, Ikea introduces a piece that goes on to become a hard-to-find, oft-sleuthed-for collector’s item. This year they released a whole bunch.
Stockholm 2025, released to mark 40 years of the Stockholm line, features all-new offerings—from sofas to rugs to glassware—designed by a team of three Swedish designers—Nike Karlsson, Ola Wihlborg, and Paulin Machado—helmed by Karin Gustavsson, creative leader at Ikea. The through line? Thoughtfully conceived products made from quality, natural materials at an achievable price—or, to put it in Karin’s words, a “no-compromise kind of collection.” There’s rattan, mouth-blown glass, elegant glass-fronted cabinets, patterned lampshades, and wool rugs that reference the Swedish forest.
To celebrate the launch—officially out today—we chatted with Karin and Ola about the collection and their approach to democratic design. Read on for our Q&A—and a look at the products our editors are coveting.

Remodelista: How did this collection come about?
Karin Gustavsson: In previous versions of Stockholm, we focused more on cohesive themes, often working with similar materials and tones. But with Stockholm 2025, we wanted a collection with a wider range of materials and styles that still work beautifully together. To do this, it was important to bring in people who “spoke” different form languages.
We chose three incredible Swedish designers who each bring something unique to the project. The team together worked under a shared vision, but each designer lent their own expertise and experience to create a collection that is cohesive but really shows unique, standalone pieces full of personality.
Ikea stockholm collection comes up here to connect ideas for clarity.
