Swedish House Mafia and IKEA have shared details of the first products from their joint collaboration.
Last year, it was announced that the band had teamed up with Swedish furniture brand for a collection of products including a chair for music production, a record player and an armchair.
The collection is called OBEGRÄNSAD, the Swedish word for “unlimited”, and as a press release says, “the name hints at the target group of the collection: those with limited budget, but unlimited creativity.
“With the OBEGRÄNSAD collection, Swedish House Mafia and IKEA aim to democratise music production at home and enable the many to unleash their passions and creativity.”
See photos of the collection below.

“The design supports creating, playing, enjoying and even just setting the mood,” Swedish House Mafia said of the collaborations, with IKEA’s in-house designer Friso Wiersma adding: “Sound is everything in music, and we have added two speaker stands to the desk in order to bring the speakers to the ear level.
“We have also added a pull-out shelf below the desktop. This functionality allows you to have a midi keyboard, for example, in easy reach, while maximising space on your desktop.”
The Scandinavian dance trio of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso released their long-awaited debut full-length album ‘Paradise Again’ this April. Speaking to NME about ‘Paradise Again’ back in November, SHM said that the record would serve as “an invitation into our world”.
In a four-star review of the new album, NME said: “Swedish House Mafia’s debut album sees the trio flexing their musical and emotional muscles across 17 brilliant, fearless and often surprising tracks. The kings of dance music are very much back.”
The group will be heading out on a world tour this summer in support of ‘Paradise Again’, with Alesso, Zhu, Vintage Culture, Grimes and Kaytranada confirmed as opening acts at various dates. See full dates below and buy tickets here.
