DELAKTIG By Tom Dixon and Ikea; Turning upholstery design upside-down
Have you ever wanted a piece of furniture that you could literally make your own? I mean, really make it your own? Well, you’re in luck because British designer Tom Dixon and Ikea have paired together to challenge the concept of a sofa in a way that’s never been done before.
The collaboration is called DELAKTIG and will officially launch in Ikea stores this April. “Delaktig” comes from the Swedish word – meaning for ”involvement” especially when used in a collaborative sense.
Now, they’re inviting you to participate in this creative design chain. As the end user and buyer you can choose to;
- add a lamp,
- swap the backrest around,
- add an armrest or
- shake things completely up by changing its cover and look.
The extruded aluminium frame of Delaktig allows for flexibility and adaptability, while giving the platform a raw, minimal aesthetic. Available in three sizes, you can choose to customise your platform based on your mood and needs.
So tell me, what Delaktig feels are you thinking?
