How To Pick The Best IKEA's Mittzon Furniture For A Productive Home Office

IKEA's July 2024 North American launch of its MITTZON office system delivers new ways to create a home office that's stylish and productive. IKEA designed MITTZON to accommodate the changing needs of evolving workspaces, including shared professional spaces and home offices with limited space or dual functions. The design ideals of the 85 new products incorporate ergonomics, materials that dampen noise, and a natural aesthetic. Though furniture lines are modern, their forest colors and rounded forms have a comforting hygge vibe.

If you're ready to give your home office a makeover, consider the new and intriguing MITTZON pieces. The adjustable or foldable desk and table options with castors are just the right size for a home or apartment-based office. Tall, white frames with castors are customizable with accessories and may be used as room dividers, while the soft textures and sound-dampening design of IKEA's flax-colored acoustic screens create a functional, tranquil work environment. Prices range from $129.99 to $599.99, with lower-cost items for customization. Reviews for MITTZON products are positive (four to five stars) but limited for this new line. View the entire MITTZON product offering online or see in-stock pieces at your local IKEA showroom. IKEA's free office-planning tool can help you design your office in a virtual rendering of your space. Before you start planning, let's take a closer look at our favorites from the new collection.

MITTZON's desks and tables have ergonomic features that adjust to individual needs and clever designs that hide wires and accessories. For example, each desk includes the MITTZON plug-in module to hide cords below the desktop and hooks on each side for your headphones or bag. The line's basic adjustable height desk is priced from $199.99 to $219.99 based on your frame color and veneer choices (white, black, ash, birch, oak, and walnut). The versatile desk measures 47 ¼ by 23 ⅝ inches. During assembly, you can manually select its height from 25 ⅝ to 33 ½ inches. The desk's electric sit/stand version ($429.99 to $449.99) changes height from 24 ⅜ to 49 ⅝ inches via buttons.

If you want to achieve an organic modern aesthetic in your home, you'll love MITTZON's muted green 55 ⅛ by 27 ½ inch foldable table ($299.99) and 26 by 19 ⅝ inch laptop table with castors ($189.99). These furnishings, which also come in white, are ideal for small or multi-use spaces. If arriving in-laws means your home office suddenly needs to become a guest room, you can fold down the tops and wheel them out of the room or store them flat against a wall. The laptop table is height adjustable with a gas spring mechanism that allows you to stand or sit. You can set it at six angles, and it has a stopper to keep your laptop from sliding off and a cup holder for your drink.

Visual boundaries and privacy are design priorities in multi-use rooms and open floor plans. The MITTZON line includes an 80 ¾ inch tall white metal frame with castors, allowing you to create a movable border between work areas with one or more frames. You can customize the frames with shelves, closed cable boxes, open containers, closet rails, or solid acoustic panels. You can mix accessories on the same stand — plant succulents in a container, place books on shelves and hide wires in a cable box.

If you need privacy but don't want the appearance of a cubicle in your home office, MITTZON acoustic screen panels ($110 to $300) provide an alternative with their pleasing stitched wave pattern in Gunnared beige (think greige). The sturdy desktop and stand-alone panels are functional, design-forward, and made with sound-absorbing materials, including soft wool covers and wood-fiber filing.

At $599.99, the Focus workstation seems expensive for a small metal-tube frame desk surrounded by an acoustic felt bonnet. However, if you are distracted easily, the space-age, noise-dampening cocoon could become a productivity haven and pay for itself. Its standout design comes from legendary IKEA designer Marcus Arvonen, which could cause its value to increase over time. Like a Milo Baughman chrome lounge chair or an atomic-age Stilnovo Sputnik ceiling lamp, distinctive decor items can become instant, iconic collectibles. With MITTZON products, home offices have stylish and clever new options to improve performance.
