IKEA has been working on a range of play furniture for years and now it is finally ready. The Swedish furniture giant has announced its game series that it has developed in collaboration with Republic of Gamers, and it contains everything you need to decorate your playroom and possibly some esoteric items.
In a statement, IKEA says playing a game is a “natural step” for the company due to the increasing number of people who enjoy games. Acknowledging the lack of knowledge and experience in games, IKEA said they had found a good partner in the brand Asus’ Republic of Gamers to help the company behind $ 1 sausage rolls to design the furniture.

“The best of these two worlds combine, and the collaboration aims to democratize the gaming experience by creating relevant, functional, beautiful and affordable products and complete gameplay solutions to make it easier for everyone to create the set-up and the home what they want, “IKEA said.
Without further ado, IKEA’s game furniture and accessories range includes the following product categories specifically aimed at PC gamers: MAIN PLAYERS, OUTDOOR PLAYERS, MATCH GAMES, GROUP GAMES, PLAY GAMES, LOAN PLAYERS.
There are more than 30 products included in the IKEA gaming range, including desks, chairs and accessories such as a large wooden hand to hold your headset. The product range also includes a cup holder attached to your desk and a special pillow with pockets that you can use to reach your hands to keep it warm, I think. Some objects, such as the ring light, are apparently aimed at streamers.
“The needs of billions of players worldwide are very diverse, while the existing offering is quite technical and is often considered masculine in design, although about 46% of the players are female,” said Ewa Rychert of IKEA. “We believe a lot needs to be done to democratize the gaming experience. Now we are taking the first step on our gaming journey, and we are doing it by offering affordable, performing gaming products and complete solutions that we hope reflect people’s personality and taste. “
This product range started in China at the end of January. It is planned to release in May 2021 in Japan and then in October 2021 in the rest of the world.
