Photo: ikea.comVintage interior design and decor are definitely making a comeback in 2024, and IKEA is embracing this trend in a brilliant way. The iconic home furnishings brand is revisiting its archives to create new collections that blend nostalgia with contemporary style. Having already released two drops for Nytillverkad, the 80th-anniversary collection, the third drop is now available online. The latest additions include a restored green swivel chair from the 1967 IKEA catalog, a chrome-accented side table from the 1971 catalog, and much more. Explore the bold, colorful, and classic retro pieces below.
DYVLINGE Swivel Chair
ikea.comThis swivel chair is truly the standout piece of the collection. The vibrant green hue makes it an instant focal point (though it's also offered in black for those with a different style preference), and the chrome-plated star-shaped base adds a modern and sleek touch to the plush, cozy seat. Plus, finding such a stylish accent chair for under $200 is rare, so we're thrilled with the price tag on this one.
SOTENÄS Armchair
ikea.comAnother eye-catching chair in the collection is the bright yellow SOTENÄS armchair, a reissue from IKEA's 1969 catalog. While it doesn't exactly have traditional arms, the broad base offers a perfect spot for curling up with your legs on the seat, ideal for watching, say, reruns of Mad Men?
BAGGBODA Side table
ikea.comThis side table has a simple design but is sure to stand out, whether used as a coffee table or side table. Originally designed in 1971, it features a tubular steel frame, a hallmark of '70s style. Thanks to the resurgence of this design era, it fits perfectly into modern homes today. The light yellow version is ideal for homes with bright and warm color schemes, while the white option complements homes with cooler-toned palettes.
BULLERREMSA Rug
ikea.comShag rugs will always spark debate, but one thing we can all agree on is their coziness. This high-pile rug is a modern take on a design from IKEA's 1958 catalog. It comes in a bold blue, black, and white color scheme, along with a more subtle grey, black, and white version.
STRECKFLY Cushion cover
ikea.comWhile '60s interior design is often remembered for its sleek lines and functional furniture, we can't overlook another key influence from the era: the groovy, psychedelic style. This pattern, revived from IKEA's 1968 catalog, captures that essence with playful, organic shapes—now reimagined in a modern monochrome black and white color scheme that may better fit contemporary interiors.
