Vintage IKEA Furniture That's Making A Return To Stores In 2025

IKEA was originally founded in Sweden in 1943, beginning a long history of Scandinavian household staples. Although it has gone through changes over the years, the company has been a trailblazer for modernist designs. To the excitement of retro furniture fans, IKEA has been revisiting its past best sellers with a new collection. This year, the sixth edition of the Nytillverkad collection is introducing even more revamped vintage designs. Reimagining iconic pieces from the 1960s to the 1990s, this collection offers everything from armchairs to shelving units.

In this iteration of the collection, there is a focus on bright colors and modernist seating. There is a distinct feeling of retro-futurism throughout this catalog, and the pieces are striking in their simplicity. For those who love the idea of vintage furniture, but are looking for something easily accessible and brand new, the Nytillverkad collection is the perfect solution. If you already have some old-school IKEA items, check out these discontinued IKEA products that may be worth a big chunk of change today. And if you want to continue to grow your IKEA collection with some iconic furniture that nods to the past, take a look at our list of the best vintage-style items that you can pick up an IKEA outlets this year.

Previously released under the name COX in the 1970s, the MOFALLA folding chair is simple and modern. It has a chrome-plated steel frame and a polyester/linen fabric seat. Its folding capability makes it ideal for compact spaces, allowing you to store it or display it at will. The creator, Niels Gammelgaard, has been a renowned industrial designer since 1968. The original piece was available in beige, beige-striped, blue-striped, and red-striped. Currently, MOFALLA is available in a natural ivory shade.

Chrome furniture has had peaks of popularity throughout the 20th century and beyond. It was particularly popular in the 1920s, 1950s, and then again in the 1980s. The MOFALLA (or COX, at the time) was a marker of an upcoming trend that flourished throughout the next decade. Folding chairs are a little bit kitschy — but that's part of their charm. They can instantly introduce a retro feel to your space, while excelling in functionality. Pair your MOFALLA chair with a vintage-style, compact table, like the VINGLI Folding Acrylic Table, to really pull the look together.

Originally released in 1967, the DYVLINGE chair used to be called MILA and was known as the "anti-stress armchair." Designed by Gillis Lundgren, it is a cushy chair with a swivel feature. It is currently available in black, green, and orange upholstery. Gillis Lundgren was the fourth-ever employee of IKEA, and also the designer of the famous BILLY bookcase. You can find the original MILA lounge chair on secondhand websites like Etsy and 1dstDibs for anywhere from $400 to over $2,000. Don't let those prices scare you though — the new DYVLINGE is priced at $199.

The DYVLINGE chair is an excellent accent piece, especially if you select one of the new, vibrant shades. If you have a small living area to fill, you can use two DYVLINGE chairs and a side table in place of a loveseat for a space-saving solution. Make sure to check the measurements of the DYVLINGE, as some customers reported that it was smaller than expected. That being said, its more compact size makes it a great option for teenagers who need a little extra seating in their rooms.

Available as both a coffee table and a side table, the GUTTANE was originally released as a bench in 1963 under the name NOVETTE. With solid oak legs and a particle board top, this wooden surface is recognizable for its clean lines and minimalist structure. It was designed by Erik Wørts, who was a significant Danish designer in the mid-20th century. Flat-pack furniture was his specialty — something IKEA is famous for today — and this table echoes the simple elegance of his work. 

The GUTTANE coffee table has been garnering controversial reviews since its release. Some customers feel that, for the $199.99 price tag, the table should be made from solid wood instead of a particle board surface. Although this does differ from its original production, IKEA's solid wood coffee table offerings come at a slightly higher price tag. For example, the HEMNES coffee table is made from solid pine and is priced at $249.99. Though, admittedly, that isn't a massive price jump when you consider the different materials. If you don't mind the particle board, the GUTTANE side table and coffee table both pair beautifully with the DYVLINGE chair mentioned above.

Another piece designed by Niels Gammelgaard, the BYAKORRE shelf was originally titled GUIDE upon its release in 1985. A minimalist marvel with a quintessentially 1980s pop of color, this open shelving unit is made of galvanized steel. The legs are also fully adjustable for uneven surfaces. The unit is shown with both white and black shelving options with colorful edges. IKEA advises buyers to secure the shelving unit to the wall with the enclosed wall anchoring pieces.

Reviews are mixed for the rerelease of this product. Although IKEA touts the shelving unit as adjustable to any surface, several reviews complain about the BYAKORRE shelf being unstable. There are rumors in the reviews that hint at a relaunch of a potentially more stable version this year. If you don't mind the risk of having to reinforce the unit yourself, customers have positive feedback about the aesthetic value of the shelves. What's great about the BYAKORRE unit is that, even without having to do any add-ons, the look is customizable. This is because the shelves are white on one side and black on the other, as well as the edges having one side that's colorful and the other all-white — meaning you can set them up in whatever way compliments your decor.

The SKÅLBODA armchair is made from polyester powder-coated steel that mimics the look of wire. It was created by Niels Gammelgaard in 1983 under the name JÄRPEN. It is now available in three new colors, including black, orange, and white. Assembly is simple in comparison to many IKEA pieces, as the set of legs simply needs to be slid into the protruding wires and then screwed together in the center.

This brand new iteration of the iconic JÄRPEN chair has generally positive reviews. The SKÅLBODA is currently priced at $99.99, which is significantly cheaper than the price of purchasing an original. On 1stDibs, a single JÄRPEN is priced between approximately $600 and $1000. The SKÅLBODA bears a striking resemblance to the original. IKEA showcases the orange variation on a complementary bright blue rug, but you can also add it to a more neutral room for a bold pop of color. Try placing it next to the LÖVBACKEN side table for a double dose of sunny orange.

Designed by Karin Mobring, this table first appeared in the 1971 catalog under the name CROMI. It's a beautiful example of a simple, stylish shape and it can be used as a small coffee table or large side table. The BAGGBODA is available in white or yellow. Karin Mobring was the first woman ever to become an IKEA designer. One of her chair designs was spotted by IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad and he offered her the opportunity to create for the iconic brand.

Customers have positive comments on the quality overall, with many reviews suggesting a larger coffee table should be added to the Nytillverkad collection. However, because it is only 28" wide, it is an ideal size for a coffee table if you have a two-seater sofa with a chaise. You can use the BAGGBODA to display potted plants, magazines, and coffee table books. This table is more than an attractive piece, it's an homage to the history of design.

Launched in 1977, the POÄNG armchair was created by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura. It first debuted on the cover of the 1977 IKEA Catalogue, immediately becoming a best-selling product. IKEA identifies Nakamura as one of their most prolific and influential designers. Although this product is not new, the POÄNG headrest was removed in 2022, creating a new, low-profile silhouette. It is now available in natural/beige, black, and red color schemes.

The chair still maintains the recognizable bent wooden frame that made it so famous. However, some buyers aren't fans of the concept of removing the headrest. IKEA defends the decision in the description by labeling the new design a "compact and modern look," so it's really a matter of your personal preference. The red and black colorways are best suited for bold styles or as statement piece, while the beige will work great in neutral or even coastal aesthetics. You can machine wash the cushion according to the care instructions, but always let it air dry.

Described as "youthful and festive," the SOTENÄS armchair is available in two bright colors: tomatoe red and sunshine yellow. Gillis Lundgren designed this tubular piece in 1969 and it was originally called PUCK. Bright colors are currently trending at IKEA, as the 2025 IKEA spring collection incorporates colorful and clean designs. In the 1969 catalog, it was showcased in a similar yellow color on a navy blue carpet, highlighting the emphasis on color that they're bringing back today.

You can either use your SOTENÄS armchair as the primary splash of color in your space, or you can create an eclectic atmosphere with several brightly colored pieces. Try pairing this piece with the SKÅLBODA armchair for optimal visual contrast. SOTENÄS is also a great way to brighten up an awkward, empty corner in your living space. It is described as a "personal" piece by IKEA, making it extremely versatile regardless of your aesthetic. There is a distinct space-age quality that makes it appear timeless in spite of its playful look.

Visualized by Danish designer Erik Wörtz, the GARNANÄS coffee table was a modernist feat when it was designed as a part of the POP 68 series. This collection was filled with vibrant shades and youthful, trendy pieces. IKEA described it as for "everyone who dares to think young, new and upbeat." The main change has been the added wall between the table top and the shelf, so that the coffee table can hold up to 22 pounds.

The original catalog image showcases the wide set table with a pitcher and tray of glasses on top, echoing its youthful purpose. If you're looking for the perfect beverage tray to complement the retro style, consider the Maoname Serving Tray, available in a wide range of vivid shades. IKEA also shows the GARNANÄS table with vases of yellow flowers. If your space isn't suitable for live flowers, try these Uieke Natural Dried Flowers as an everlasting alternative.

Branded as "a lovely little thing, in ultra-modern design" by Ingvar Kamprad, the LÖVBACKEN side table was released in 1956. Originally, it was made with jacaranda wood and included brass-covered feet. However, this wood has since been protected from logging, so fiberboard was chosen as an alternative. IKEA has added several new color options, including medium brown, blue, green, and orange. It also has a durable, veneered surface.

Don't hesitate if you're considering adding this piece to your interior landscape. According to IKEA's website, this could be your last chance to buy the LÖVBACKEN side table. The medium brown shade looks most like the original wood grain, but customers are raving about the other colors in the reviews. Its 30 ⅜-inch compact width also allows you to add multiple LÖVBACKEN tables to your space if desired. If you're looking for a light source to complete the retro look of your space, check out the LAUTERS floor lamp.

Although it has been back on the shelves for a few years, the KLIPPAN loveseat is one of the most iconic vintage IKEA items to be recently revived. With its soft corners and a washable cover, it's perfect for households with children. This piece was introduced in 1980 by designer Noboru Nakamura, with the sofa cover initially showcased on the cover of the IKEA catalog in 1984. The seat is designed with resilient metal springs that offer a supportive, springy feel.

Because this product is so popular, you can order custom covers from upholstery websites that fit the KLIPPAN perfectly. In fact, the FMCTL Klippan Loveseat Cover Replacements come in more neutral shades than what's on the IKEA website. Due to its washable nature, this IKEA sofa is perfect for a pet-friendly living room on a budget.

The JÄRLÅSA side table was originally created by Niels Gammelgaard in 1984 under the name HOFF. It is a practical and timeless rolling unit, and available in both rich red and pure white. These were also the original colors of the piece, so if you want something that feels truly retro, this is it. The table is made from steel with an epoxy/polyester powder coating and can hold up to 220 pounds.

This is another product that IKEA has marked as the last chance to buy. One customer review noted that the height measurement indicates the very top of the unit, not the height of the shelf. Keep that in mind when you are weighing up how the item will fit your space. You can lean into the monochromatic, retro look by covering your red JÄRLÅSA table in red accessories, or the white version in white decor. It also serves as a stylish, industrial-chic touch to any contemporary space.
