Part of the annual IKEA VINTERFINT series, this limited-edition 9-piece collection blends festive tradition with playful design

BURLINGTON, ON, Sept. 9, 2025 /CNW/ - IKEA Canada is proud to unveil a vibrant new addition to its annual winter collection, VINTERFINT—marking the brand's first-ever collaboration with Swedish designer Gustaf Westman. This limited-edition, 9-piece collection of tableware and home objects is priced under $50, reflecting the brands commitment to making bold, expressive design affordable for the many—just in time for the season of celebration.

Rooted in the spirit of tradition but designed for a new generation, the collection blends Westman's signature sculptural shapes and confident use of colour with IKEA iconic design thoughtfulness that blends a functional, joyful approach to home living. Classic red and green tones offer a nod to festive heritage, while bubble gum pink and baby blue introduce a playful twist—perfect for celebrations of all kinds.

"At IKEA, we believe seasonal design should spark joy, feel welcoming, and reflect the many ways people come together to celebrate," said Carmen Ciesielski, Home Furnishing Design Leader, IKEA Canada. "This collaboration with Gustaf Westman brings a fresh, expressive energy to our winter collection—infusing tradition with bold colour, sculptural forms, and a sense of play. It's a perfect example of how IKEA continues to deliver high-quality, design-forward products at prices that make great design accessible to everyone."

The expressive contrasts in the collection are seen throughout: porcelain cup & saucer in dark green and pink feature a soft silhouette. Lighting plays a central role, with candlesticks, candle holders, and a rechargeable lantern that transforms from a layered orb into an expanded, sculptural shape. A modern take on the traditional Swedish candelabra-style lamp adds a nostalgic touch.

"For me, this was an opportunity to take traditional holiday decor aesthetics and turn it on its head, instead, introducing a sense of playfulness and boldness," said Gustaf Westman, "This is my interpretation of the holidays; it's a new design for a new generation."

Rounding out the collection is a striking vase made from a single metal spiral, paired with a glass vessel—designed to support drooping flowers while adding a dynamic visual element to any space.

The IKEA VINTERFINT collection in collaboration with Gustaf Westman will be available in stores and online starting October 1, 2025, for a limited time.
