Just like Virgil Abloh’s multiple collaborations with the likes of Nike, Levi's, Moncler and Takashi Murakami, Abloh’s collaboration with Ikea – available around the world wherever the Swedish giant has its stores - remains firmly anchored in the history of fashion and design. In May 2018, accompanied by an Ikea representative, the designer gave a preview of ‘Markered’ via a YouTube live-stream video. A series of rugs bearing the Off-White logo, a Scandi-style wooden chair with one leg shorter than the others, stabilized by a graphic red wedge, and a cardboard bag named ‘Sculpture’ that uses the same ultra-resistant handles as the original Ikea bag are all up for grabs.
Furniture adapted for small surfaces
During the conference, Virgil Abloh explained that he created the furniture with millennials in mind, who he hopes will take to the furniture as much as they do to his sneakers. Good news, Ikea has just unveiled all the pieces that will be on sale exclusively by sweepstake from November 1st to 6th, 2019.
While the launch of the Ikea x Virgil Abloh furniture and decor collection caused a rush and quickly became a sellout, it is now possible to try again to get your hands on one of the pieces. How? By going to the Ikea site to reserve the product of your choice and select the shop and pickup date.
