IKEA Just Dropped Its First PS Collection in Nearly a Decade—and It Might Be the Cleverest Yet

All About This Year’s IKEA PS Collection

The PS collection begins with nothing but a theme that is expressed in just a few words. Designers are allowed to take that theme and interpret it freely, creating Scandinavian pieces that push the boundaries of IKEA’s products and make way for bold innovations.

This year’s theme is “Playful Functionality,” encouraging the collection’s designers to create pieces that inspire curiosity. Most pieces in the collection are so much more than they seem—with hidden practical features and uses that you might not expect from just looking at them. Of course, the design of the pieces themselves is also aesthetically playful and fun—exactly what you’d expect from an IKEA PS collection.

Space-saving, clutter-hiding, and multifunctional, the IKEA PS collection 2026 is bound to have at least a few products that everyone will love. We’ve picked out three pieces to shop that highlight the playful, clever spirit of the collection.

Reversible Chair

According to IKEA, designer Henrik Preutz was looking to create a chair that could stand up to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This led him to create one that can be used in any space of the home, in multiple ways.

The chair’s reversible design gives you the opportunity to sit any way you please—a chair without a true front or back. Whether you’re sitting down to chop vegetables or gathering around the kitchen table, this chair offers you a comfortable seat that adjusts itself entirely to your preferences.

Chair-Bed

IKEA’s PS collection likes to hone in on space-saving solutions, helping to make Scandinavian design even more accessible for everyone. Matilda Lindstam’s vibrantly colored folding chair does just that. When it’s all folded up, it offers a comfortable, plush seat for your living room, office, or bedroom. Unfold it once, and it transforms into a lounger so you can kick back and relax. Unfold it another time, and suddenly, it’s a full-length bed!

Lindstam even uses pocket springs in the chair to create an ultra-comfortable bed that’s on par with your regular mattress. Whether you’re making the most out of your studio apartment or hiding an extra bed for guests in plain sight, we think this design is absolutely genius.

Red side table with handle in the center

Side Table

This artful side table has sleek legs that come straight up through the center of the table, creating a useful handle. While it’s in use, it looks like a modern art piece—when you need a little extra space, simply fold it together and tuck it away. Designer David Wahl says that the handle on the folding table took over a year to get just right, and with great results. The handle on the table works whether it’s open or shut, so you can move it around wherever you please.
