IKEA Collaborates With Swedish House Mafia For A Collection Designed For Musicians

IKEA and Swedish House Mafia have introduced the OBEGRÄNSAD collection, comprising over 20 innovative home furnishing options designed for music production, performance, and listening within the home environment.

Frequently, the most exceptional ideas and skills emerge spontaneously during unrefined moments, nurtured within the solace of solitary, sensitive self-care. This is particularly applicable to musicians and designers—while these "unicorns" appear and disappear at will, it appears that the more personalized the setting, the more genuine the expression can be when manifested in tangible sight and sound.

However, not many individuals have access to an atmosphere conducive to utilizing the necessary equipment, let alone the ability to hire a professional music studio equipped with the appropriate tools to enable musicians to realize their creative aspirations.

The electronic music group Swedish House Mafia recognizes this difficulty and has centered their fortuitous cooperation with IKEA on challenging that standard. The OBEGRÄNSAD collection, meaning "unlimited" in Swedish, seeks to empower emerging creatives in music and digital arts by providing access to an ideal home studio at an accessible cost.

“Our objective was to streamline the music creation process for individuals.” Swedish House Mafia states, "We hope our collection inspires and empowers individuals to enhance their creativity at home, extending beyond mere music production to encompass a broader spectrum of possibilities."

The collection features over 20 smart home furnishing solutions designed to enhance the music experience both at home and elsewhere. This simple and timeless all-black assortment caters to the creative endeavors of individuals who compose, perform, and appreciate music in their residences. If you are a music enthusiast, music producer, DJ, or an individual with constrained resources yet boundless imagination, consider this your invitation to visit your nearest IKEA when the collection arrives in late October.

The set includes an LED work, wall and floor lamps, a clock; stands for laptops, tablets, speakers, and records; a desk, two types of shelving units, an armchair, four varieties of bags, comprising an accessory bag, a record bag, and a laptop bag, a rug and slippers in two sizes, a throw, and a cushion cover. A vinyl player is available, as the three collectively asserts that vinyl provides the most authentic auditory experience — this presents an ideal opportunity to disseminate that enjoyment to a broader audience affordably.

This assortment is particularly appealing for aspiring DJs. Observe the shelving unit that modifies the KALLAX bookshelf by incorporating additional space for amplifiers and an elevated structure; a desk featuring speaker stands and a retractable shelf; supports for a laptop, tablet, and speakers; a combination of lighting – including ambient illumination in the clock – and soft furnishings that are crucial for stimulating your creativity.

“Examine the assortment and its intricacy: illumination, furnishings, technology.” Such an achievement would not have been feasible without a specific partnership, as collaboration is intrinsic to the identity of Swedish House Mafia. "It permeates all their actions," states Friso Wiersma, IKEA's in-house designer.

Public evidence in their music demonstrates how their proficiency in set lighting combined with IKEA’s skill in atmospheric lighting to create three distinct lamps designed to imitate that function in a domestic setting. If there is one aspect for which we can express gratitude to Swedish House Mafia this year, it is this enduring gift.
