IKEA has revived some pieces from its NYTILLVERKA archive, reimagining some for today's customers. The new collection includes four retro-style chairs, a mid-century bench-turned-coffee table, a shelf, and a pendant lamp. I highly recommend checking out the renderings on the website, where you can see an overlay comparison of the original designs versus their modern updates in an interactive way. It's a fascinating look at how timeless design can evolve! Check it out HERE!

Standout Pieces From The Nytillverka Collection

MOFALLA Chair (1978 reissue)
This bent steel tube chair only comes in this off-white color (for now?!). It folds up for easy storage and is a classic that would look good in any space! Pro Tip: Because the seat height is only 16" high we would not recommend this as an extra dining chair- but it's perfect for casual seating!

GUTTANE Coffee Table (1963 reissue)
Once a bench, this now serves as a mid-century style coffee table. True to its mid-century proportions it stands just 12 inches tall, where coffee tables generally are between 14-16 inches, but I think that's "normal" for this style! Need a shorter table? It also comes in a cutie side table version.

SKÅLBODA Chair (1987 reissue)
This metal chair would be perfect for a funky apartment or or teens' room. Even though it resembles a patio chair, it is not recommended for outside use. You can choose from 3 colors-orange, black or white. I might be biased because I am an 80s kid, but this one is my favorite! 

I noticed all these items all come with 10-year limited warranties, although less expensive IKEA furniture can truly stand the test of time!

Are you loving the Nytillverka revival? Which piece would you add to your home?
