The VARMBLIXT Limited Collection was born from IKEA’s desire to make more people more curious about home lighting. This collaboration is based on IKEA’s idea of the importance of light for health and well-being (a state of physical and mental well-being), and the idea of “changing the perception of lighting from being purely functional. existence to mobile existence.”Achieving long-term goals.
IKEA’s design philosophy of “democratic design”* and Sabine Marcelis’ unique design characterized by minimal shapes and styles, intuitive light and color are fused in a limited collection created by sculptures that make use of lights and light. A total of 17 items will be on sale, including stylish accessories such as , and rugs designed with sunset light inspiration.
A special feature is the donut shaped motif, the perfect infinity of shapes that characterize Sabine’s work. The first product series inspired by this donut shape will be available in 2 sizes of glass bowls and 1 lamp. The VARMBLIX LED table / wall lamp is also a versatile item that can be mounted on the wall or displayed on a table.
Sabine Marcelis said:
“I want to take an unexpected approach to exploring how lighting works in the home and move people’s hearts. I want people to feel like they want to blend it into a unique space and make it stand out.”
Henrik Most, Creative Leader at IKEA of Sweden said:
“When creating the VARMBLIXT collection, our vision was to develop the idea of combining (functional) design with sculptural (art-like) objects. Hopefully everyone will feel the wonder of incorporating multi-purpose objects that combine functionality while pursuing a functional aesthetic in the space.”
