For every PS Collection IKEA has released, the designers were given a specific theme to work around, a starting point to jump off and land at their own unique conclusion. And this year, for the tenth iteration of the initiative, the theme was playful functionality.
Not a far cry from the brand's typical style, with the 2026 IKEA PS collection, the goal was to push this concept to its limits, diving into the space where functionality intersects with fun — and the designers did not hold back. From inflatable chairs to flexible lamps, the collection showed the broad scope of what playfulness can look like and how personal it can be. Each design revealed something about its creator and how they experience the joy of the everyday.
