Titled “MARKERAD”, the collection is described as “a collection of first home must-haves that don’t force you to compromise on who you are. It’s somewhere to sit, sleep, work, and store stuff, but function is just part of the greatness.
Henrik Most, Creative Leader and project partner of the collaboration said: “What we have designed are obviously functional design products that can go into a home, like chairs, table, rug or a clock. But they are also fashion items – statement pieces because they are unique. It’s a little bit like having your ‘it’ bag, now you can have the ‘it’ carpet too. The products have a clear function, but what is so fun about it is that they all feature Virgil Abloh’s signature aesthetic.”
Of course, one of the most stand-out pieces from the collection is the “FRAKTA” bag that wrote different fashion news when being compared to a new Balenziaga release that reminded the web very much of the cheap IKEA shopper.
Take a look at the pieces but be prepared to wait as the Virgil Abloh x IKEA collection is set to drop only in 2019.
