These Are the 12 Ikea Products the Company's Design Chief Personally Owns We asked Johan Ejdemo to list which Ikea items populate his home. He also tells us about his all-time favorite. I'm sitting with the man who decides what more than 900 million shoppers globally will want next in their home. We're at Ikea HQ in Älmhult, a small Swedish town most people have never heard of, and even fewer could find on a map. Johan Ejdemo started his furniture career at 15 when he began training as a cabinetmaker. Now, he's an Ikea lifer, having notched up nearly 30 years at the company. As design manager, he leads an in-house team of 20, as well as a roster of freelance designers, shaping the 1,500 to 2,000 new products the company releases every year.

Ikea's New Designer Collection Is Home-Office Heaven From a twisty lamp to a bendy clock, the Swedish company's full 2026 PS Collection has dropped. It's a boon for those looking to refine their homes and workstations. Now that the hubbub of the cat-tested blow-up chair has calmed down, Ikea has taken the wraps off the rest of its latest PS Collection (which stands for Post Scriptum). Consisting of 44 pieces, including the viral inflatable PS 2026 Easy Chair, the furniture brand says the theme of the 2026 PS Collection is playful functionality. The new PS Collection (available in stores from May 14, then online from May 22) has not one but two options for accommodating impromptu sleepovers.
