With “Konstrunda,” Ikea is moving away from traditional furniture and reimagining furniture and accessories as art objects. The new limited collection brings 22 expressive designs into the home–from sculptural vases and graphic rugs to striking tables. myHOMEBOOK took a closer look at the collection.
Ikea is known for Billy, Kallax, and others, but with the new Konstrunda collection, the Swedish furniture giant showcases a more experimental side. Instead of integrating furniture and accessories organically into the space, the new pieces are meant to become focal points. It’s about shapes, materials, contrasts, and especially the question of how much art can be part of everyday life.
The name Konstrunda can be roughly translated as “art tour” or “art round.” The concept behind it: Art should not only take place in galleries or be associated with a high price but should also find a place on the coffee table, next to the sofa, or on the floor. Ikea describes the guiding idea of the collection with the terms “free,” “joyful,” and “bold.”

22 Objects Between Art and Furniture
For Konstrunda, Ikea brought together seven creatives with different backgrounds and working methods. The results are accordingly diverse: stainless steel meets glass, graphic patterns meet organic shapes, and bold colors meet black-and-white contrasts.
The limited collection includes 22 pieces in total. Among them are furniture, rugs, cushion covers, mirrors, vases, and decorative objects. In terms of pricing, Ikea remains true to its goal of making design accessible to as many people as possible. The smaller accessories start at 14.99 euros, while the larger furniture pieces cost up to 199 euros. Thus, the entire collection stays below the 200-euro mark.
The Chrome-Colored Table as a Highlight
The Konstrunda side table is particularly striking. The model looks less like a classic small side table and more like a geometric sculpture. The chrome-colored steel frame forms an unusual, almost graphic construction, topped with a transparent glass plate.
At 199 euros, it is one of the most expensive pieces in the collection–at the same time, it is one of the objects that clearly shows what Konstrunda aims to do differently. The table is functional, but its real impact comes from its form. It can stand next to the sofa, serve as a shelf, and still appear as an independent design object.
If you prefer something more colorful, the same model is also available with a blue frame. This variant also costs 199 euros.
The Rug That Does More Than Just Lie Under the Sofa
Another highlight comes from Emanuele Stamuli: the black-and-white Konstrunda rug. Measuring 80 × 160 centimeters, it is relatively compact and thus also interesting for smaller spaces. Its graphic pattern and unusual shape deliberately make it a focal point.
Instead of subtly retreating under furniture, the rug functions almost like a picture on the floor. The black-and-white scheme makes it surprisingly versatile: In a minimalist interior, it appears graphic and strict, while in combination with wood or bold colors, it creates a much more playful look.
In terms of material, Ikea maintains a certain quality standard: The pile is made of 100 percent wool, and the base fabric is polyester, at least 90 percent of which is recycled. The price is 99 euros.
Sculptural Vases
Those who want to slowly ease into the art look might find the vases appealing. Particularly successful are the black-and-white models by Emanuele Stamuli, which feature contrasting stripes and thus almost resemble small graphic sculptures.
The taller vase measures 29 centimeters and costs 19.99 euros, while the more compact version with a height of 22 centimeters is priced at 24.99 euros. Both are made of stoneware and, according to Ikea, work well not only with flowers but also as standalone objects.

Things get even more sculptural with the black, mouth-blown glass vase by Lisa Reiser. The organically wavy shape and matte black surface make it an object that draws attention even without flowers. It costs 24.99 euros.
This is perhaps one of the most interesting ideas of Konstrunda: A vase no longer has to be just a vessel. It can be a decorative object in its own right.

Small Art for Small Money
In decorative objects, Ikea also focuses on unusual silhouettes. A particularly beautiful example is the stainless steel decoration by Andu Masebo. The polished, bowl-like shape reflects light and works on a sideboard, a stack of books, or as the centerpiece of a coffee table. Price: 24.99 euros.
Another decoration made of silver-colored material is priced at 29.99 euros and also features rounded shapes and reflective surfaces.
This also highlights the price range of the collection: Those who want to make a small statement don’t need a large budget. At the same time, there are pieces like tables and larger rugs that can certainly serve as the main feature of a room.
The Collection Is Less a Furniture Series and More a Personal Collection
What makes the collection interesting is not necessarily a uniform “Konstrunda look.” On the contrary, the pieces are sometimes very different. This seems intentional.
With Konstrunda, Ikea wants to encourage people not just to look at art but to live with it. A sculptural table can stand next to a striped vase, a graphic rug can lie on an otherwise calm floor, and a single object on a shelf can serve the same function as a work of art.
This makes the collection interesting for people who don’t want to furnish their entire home in a maximalist style. A single extraordinary piece is enough to give a room a new character.
