As a seasoned vintage furniture enthusiast with a penchant for all things retro, I can hardly contain my excitement over the relaunch of the iconic Niels Gammelgaard shelving unit from IKEA! The Nytillverkad collection has always been a treasure trove of nostalgia and design ingenuity, but this sixth series takes it to another level.
If you enjoy collecting vintage furniture, it’s quite possible that the Niels Gammelgaard IKEA shelving unit has caught your attention, perhaps even at a cost significantly greater than its initial selling price from the 1980s.
Currently, the iconic Swedish furniture brand is reviving a highly sought-after piece for its Re-Issued collection, featuring designs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that are once again being manufactured. According to Gammelgaard, if future generations and their descendants appreciate the design, then as a designer, you have achieved success, as he stated upon hearing about the re-release.
As a delighted admirer, I’d express it this way: “In the upcoming lineup for 2024, you’ll find a diverse array of offerings, from captivating chairs to vibrant textiles. Many of these pieces can be tailored to cater specifically to our valued customers. Some favorites return, now boasting an exciting color upgrade – with vivid oranges, reds, blues, and greens adding a pop of freshness across the entire collection.
Karin Gustavsson, creative head of Nytillverkad collection, notes that incorporating just one item from their collection can create a striking impact. The items within this collection have the unique ability to adapt to various homes by altering their shape and color accordingly. Drawing inspiration from four different decades, we’ve redesigned these pieces to feel modern and innovative. Expect a vibrant color palette, along with rounded, soft accents, whimsical prints, and playful designs that will infuse a touch of daily happiness into your life.
Here, we break down the pieces being brought back for series six.
MOFALLA (previously known as COX), 1978
This collapsible lounge chair features a robust, long-lasting canvas material tautly fixed to metallic legs. Created by Niels Gammelgaard, it’s gained quite the following among collectors and often commands a high market value.
DYVLINGE (previously MILA), 1967
The rotating armchair called DYVLINGE, crafted by Gillis Lundgren, is known as an “anti-stress chair”. It was initially showcased in the 1967 catalog. This popular design from the brand has made a vibrant comeback in a striking shade of orange.
SOTENÄS (previously PUCK), 1969
In his latest creation, Lundgren’s SOTENÄS was initially characterized as lively and celebratory at its debut. Now, alongside its fresh moniker, it also presents a vibrant new hue – a festive shade of red.
BYAKORRE (previously GUIDE), 1985
As a design enthusiast with a keen eye for unique and functional pieces, I must say that the BYAKORRE (or GUIDE) shelves have undeniably left an indelible mark on me. Having spent many years scouring vintage reselling sites in search of the perfect addition to my own home decor, I’ve rarely come across a piece as versatile and stylish as these shelves.
ÄNGSVITVINGE (previously MOLN then SKYAR), 1973
As an ardent admirer, I’d like to share a fascinating tale about one of my cherished IKEA textile acquisitions – the whimsical cloud-filled graphic bedding. This piece was among the pioneering textiles by IKEA, providing me with a dreamy night sky experience right in my bedroom. Originally crafted through the intricate process of screen printing, its popularity necessitated an expansion in production. To cater to this demand, the visionary designer Sven Fristedt skillfully revised the pattern to harmonize with rotary printing techniques.
KLIPPBRÄCKA (previously MODIG KORN), 1997
The textiles of KLIPPBRACKA, designed by Anna Efverlund, feature designs reminiscent of the 90s with a playful popcorn-inspired pattern as their foundation.
KÄLLARHALS (previously SNURRA), 1995
As a gamer, I’ve got to say these vases, crafted by Efverlund, are something else! They’ve got this round, flowing shape that’s quite the head-turner. Now they go by the name KÄLLARHALS, and they made their debut in a catalog way back in 1995. But guess what? They’ve been reimagined in a vibrant clear yellow and orange lacquer, giving them a fresh, modern twist!
GUTTANE (previously NOVETTE), 1963
To round things off, we have Erik Wørts’ GUTTANE line, which originally began as a bench called NOVETTE. These pieces, boasting solid oak legs and oak veneer tabletops, offer a harmonious blend of style and practicality. A distinctive feature is the ledge, designed to prevent magazines or cups from slipping off the edge.
The worldwide availability of the sixth release from the Nytillverkad line at IKEA stores and online platforms begins in February 2025.
