DELAKTIG Designed by IKEA and Tom Dixon

DO YOUR THING In February 2018 IKEA and Tom Dixon are launching DELAKTIG: an aluminum, open source platform for living. In the spirit of challenging design conventions and the upholstery industry, DELAKTIG invites anyone to add to it, or completely change it. Additionally, the dynamic duo also designed accessories; add-ons to complement the platform. These can be combined in multiple ways to suit different looks, activities and lifestyles. Add armrests and a lamp. Add a table and a new backrest cover. Swap the armrests around. Change the backrests. Add some more cushions. Change the entire cover completely, why don t you? Simply put; with DELAKTIG, you get to DO YOUR THING.

IKEA and Tom wanted to know what this meant for upholstered furniture. So DELAKTIG was created for better socializing solutions in a modern world where everything is constantly in lux. Its versatility allows you to cope with some of those unknowns of everyday life; whether it be cramming for your next big exam or date night. 3-seat platform 405 Tallmyra white/black 792.662.09 Armrest with cushion 55/each Tallmyra white/black 792.599.54 Backrest with cushion 55/each Hillared anthracite 892.599.39 LED floor lamp 70 003.965.86 Side table for frame 50 003.860.97 PH148115

In contrast to traditional upholstery production and design, the DELAKTIG frame is made in an industrial manner. That is one of the reasons why IKEA and Tom chose to work with aluminum. It s great for the industrial process, and its raw aesthetics makes for a durable, lightweight frame. Because the frame is extruded it works as a carrier of attachments, extensions or additions. Its lexibility allows you alter the comfort, or add new functions like maybe a self-made room divider, or a cosy corner for two.

DELAKTIG, the Swedish word for involvement, is largely about collaboration. Normally, IKEA works with one designer or one design team. This time around they wanted to really open up for co-creation in every sense. So they asked 75 design students across the globe to come up with their own DELAKTIG ideas. And of course, Tom and his team will also be releasing exclusive DELAKTIG accessories so stay tuned! THE POWER OF MANY The more people that get involved in DELAKTIG the better. I think that s how a modern business should work. Tom Dixon

IKEA AND TOM DIXON SHAKE THINGS UP IKEA and designer Tom Dixon have teamed up to challenge the upholstery industry in a way that s never been done before. The outcome? A fresh, open take on seating. Meet DELAKTIG: a collaborative platform for living that invites everyone to completely make it their own. He dropped out of at school, played bass in the band, Funkapolitan, and taught himself how to weld and eventually produce furniture. Today, you can get a closer look at his work in his London-based research design studio, or in some of the most famous museums around the world. It s safe to say that Tom Dixon has never been one to think inside the box an obvious quality that both him and IKEA share. But for the DELAKTIG collection, luckily, it wasn t their similarities that made the partnership such a success, but rather combining their differences. PH148365

PH148364 The grass is always greener on the other side. I look at IKEA and think: If only I had a workshop like that, if only I had distribution like that, if only I had volumes like that. And they re probably thinking: If only we were smaller, everything would be so much faster and easier. I think in a collaboration, that mutual fascination needs to be there, Tom explains. Around the time the collaboration started, I became aware of the hacking community around IKEA these people that turn IKEA products into something unique and personal. I knew I wanted to explore that somehow. When I saw their [the masters students ] ideas, it made me realise its potential that our idea for an open-source platform actually works, Tom explains. TURNING THE SOFA INDUSTRY ON ITS HEAD With DELAKTIG, Tom and IKEA wanted to challenge the norms of seating production as it is today. Aesthetic, affordable, long lasting and democratic were just a few of the boxes that had to be ticked. And for Tom Dixon, it was an opportunity to play on a larger field. IT S TIME FOR YOU GET INVOLVED When all is said and done, both Tom and IKEA are proud of the results, and eager for you to join the movement. As a piece of furniture that can withstand the true test of time, who knows what DELAKTIG might transform into from one generation to the next? I didn t spend more than six months in art school I hated it. I played in a band, and had lots of time during the day. So I started doing metalwork and welding in a garage, and people started buying it. It was amazing and liberating. I wanted to get involved in industrial production on a bigger scale. It s about breaking out of the perceived boundaries of my trade and trying something new. I ve always been anxious not be categorised. I started thinking about what we can t do here at my company, but that I would like to do, or have a point of view on. For Tom Dixon the company, it s simply too difficult to do soft seating it s too size driven, too mattress driven, and has endless comfort requirements, depending on the country. But IKEA knows and can handle all of it, Tom says. INVITING THE HACKING COMMUNITY But more than a collaboration between Tom and IKEA, DELAKTIG is open for everyone to make it their own. During the design process, IKEA and Tom decided to turn DELAKTIG into an open-source project. Inspired by the technology industry, they invited 75 design masters students to contribute their own fresh ideas, resulting in future coming add-ons. You get married or you split up, and you might want a different configuration. Or, maybe you re renting out a spare room to somebody. Don t chuck DELAKTIG away if you re finished with it turn it into something else, something new. Or save it for the children so they can bring it with them when they move out, Tom concludes.
