IKEA revives popular 1970s shelf by Niels Gammelgaard in Nytillverkad vintage collection
- IKEA is set to reintroduce ten vintage designs, including products by Niels Gammelgaard, in its sixth Nytillverkad collection of reissues.
- Gammelgaard's 1978 Guide shelf, renamed Enetri and now known as Byakorre, is one of the offerings that IKEA is reintroducing.
- Guide is an open shelving unit with a galvanised steel frame. The particleboard shelves are reversible, and shelf edges come in plain white or other bright colours depending on the placement.
- The machine making laminate boards for Guide could change colours at no extra cost, which designer Gammelgaard exploited.
- Other products in the collection include chairs by Gammelgaard, a bench by Erik Wørts, two sets of bed linen, and glass vases.
- Reintroducing these products proves their durability and functional design that has stood the test of time, according to Gammelgaard.
- The Nytillverkad products will launch globally in February 2025.
- IKEA is reintroducing proven products from the 60s, 70s, and 80s to capitalize on their enduring appeal.
- The Guide shelf is famously popular with collectors and fans of modernist design, commanding prices upwards of £800 despite its original retail price being just €65.
- The latest Nytillverkad collection includes various products, such as Lundgren's Tajt chair and a rerelease of the Novette bench by Erik Wørts.
