IKEA and XBOX launch a new gaming-inspired collection
IKEA and XBOX have unveiled the YXSTABY collection, a nine-piece furniture line designed for gamers playing at home. The collection includes a mobile TV stand, a gaming lounge chair, rolling side tables, and other pieces inspired by the iconic XBOX controller, combining gaming functionality with Scandinavian design principles for everyday home environments.
Interesting idea and looks quite comfortable too.
Which furniture pieces in the YXSTABY collection are directly inspired by the XBOX controller design?
The collection features a D-pad-inspired cushion, a mirrored display box showcasing a controller, and a thumbstick stool developed from the controller's original 3D design files. Textures and shapes appear throughout in unexpected ways, including a stainless steel platter with D-pad motifs.
Who is the YXSTABY collection designed for?
The collection addresses the needs of both gamers and people sharing their spaces. It is designed for those without a dedicated gaming room who integrate play into everyday activities like dining or living room use.
How does the mobile TV stand solve practical challenges for home gaming?
The stand rolls to where play is happening with rear storage for gear and can be rolled away when gaming ends. It addresses the need for flexible spaces in homes without dedicated gaming areas.
