The Swedes aren't into somber product unveilings. They’re leaning into the modernity of a real, lived-in apartment. And it feels like home.
I went straight for the lamp by Alexander "Lex" Pott. From across the room, it looks like a clean, industrial cylinder. But the backstory is better. This lamp was born when Lex chopped up a broomstick in his studio. He refigured the scraps until he found the inspiration for these 45-degree angles.
The joints move with a heavy, satisfying click. It feels expensive. You can twist it into a spotlight. Or a reading light. You can even flip it into an uplighter in about a second. And the price is the real headline. It’s 39 Euros (about $45).

The IKEA PS 2026 Rocking Bench: Why Marta Krupińska Put Oktoberfest in Your Living Room
An IKEA rep told the press the designer’s inspiration was the long tables at Oktoberfest. Because Krupińska wanted that feeling of people singing and clinking beer mugs. "I wanted it to be a bit like a party, like singing together," the designer said in a statement.
Krupińska described the creative spark as something fleeting. “The most exciting part of designing is when you get the brief and go back to your desk and those ideas – I call them butterflies – come to you. You just want to catch them, but they are flying so fast and multiplying, so you have to make decisions,” she says.
Mikael Axelsson’s IKEA PS 2026 Air Chair
But this 2026 version is a grown-up redemption arc.
It has a carbon steel frame to keep it from sliding across the floor like a loose balloon. It has a textile cover. No more sticking to the plastic when it’s hot. But the box is the real win. The whole thing comes in a slim, flat package. You could literally tuck it under your arm and take the subway home.
