Ikea has started selling its new furniture collection for gamers. The collection contains products where the name says it all.
Ikea’s new collection of furniture for PC and console gamers is now available as planned following its announcement in April. The Swedish furniture retailer offers a total of 15 items with the name “Brännboll” on its website, with three products only differing in color. “Brännboll” is the Swedish word for dodgeball – a popular catch and run game.
Compared to previous Ikea furniture for gamers, the “Brännboll” series focuses on “low seating, storage space and accessories, all of which share clever functions and a playful design,” the website says.
According to Ikea, the focus of the products from the new series is on seating. These include ergonomic chairs that have been specially developed for “gaming postures and scenarios”. This also includes an inflatable chair and an armchair.
The “Brännboll” chair is designed to swing the player from side to side in accordance with their movements, writes Ikea. The designer responsible, David Wahl, says: “I was inspired by how people move when playing video games and wanted to create a chair that activates the player to improve this interaction.” He hopes that his piece of furniture will lead to a more exciting and intense experience.
Other furniture includes “a gaming station with a folding table top” and “integrated PC tower storage system and cable management.” There are also numerous storage solutions such as a wall cabinet, casters, side tables and a basket that also serves as a movable, free-standing table.
The following products from the “Brännboll” series are available in Germany:
