For avid gamers and occasional gamers
IKEA has just released the BRÄNNBOLL collection. The furnishings for gamers are based on the first-ever furniture series designed by the company together with Republic of Gamers in 2021.
- This collection is more than furniture. It's a comprehensive solution for all your gaming needs. Thought through to the smallest detail, the furniture is so versatile that it will appeal to both seasoned gamers and people who play games only occasionally, says designer Anna-Maria Nilsson.
The collection is distinguished by its multifunctionality. All pieces can be easily prepositioned and adapted to individual needs. As a result, users can enjoy gameplay in any space and quickly modify the layout for other activities such as resting or relaxing with a book. So let's take a look at the most interesting elements of the BRÄNNBOLL collection.

A (not only) gaming chair
Who said gaming chairs have to resemble office chairs? This piece of furniture from the BRÄNNBOLL collection brings to mind a rather designer chaise longue. After unfolding the cushions, we can comfortably lie on it in a semi-reclining position. The strong carbon steel frame ensures many years of comfortable and stable seating, while the reclining backrest allows you to maintain a comfortable playing position. What's more, thanks to the casters, we can easily move it to our favorite place without much effort.

Gaming station
Gaming equipment doesn't blend in with the rest of the decor? That's not a problem! A gaming station consisting of a tabletop, chair space and equipment shelf provides a secluded, quiet place to play, work or study. When not in use, however, simply close the station's door to turn it into a closet, hiding not only all electronics, but even a chair!

Inflatable gaming chair
The bagel-shaped chair can be used as an extra gaming seat for friends or siblings, or just a place to relax. Using the included pump, you can quickly inflate the seat and then hang it on the wall thanks to the back loop. This way the seat doesn't take up a lot of space, yet is always easily accessible. Available in two vivid colors (green and orange) it will be great for a teenager's room in particular.

Rack on wheels
Consoles, controllers, headphones.... The collection of a true gamer is constantly growing. How to organize it? With help comes a functional bookcase. The included elastic straps, hooks, handles and side partition help organize equipment and cables, so you can quickly find what you need. The divider can be mounted horizontally or vertically, making the piece of furniture easy to customize for your individual collection. In addition, holes in the side panels provide good ventilation to prevent overheating.

Box for small items
Basket or stand? Both! A felt box is the perfect solution for storing gaming accessories. The lid protects the contents from dust, and the practical folding handles make it easy to move the basket anywhere.
