Just in time for college move-in or a September 1st lease start, IKEA's highly-anticipated KOMPISHÄNG collection is finally available to shop online – starting today.
Designed with city dwellers, college students, renters, and frequent house movers in mind, this limited-edition drop is stocked with stylish, easy-to-move furniture, proving that pieces made for mobility can, in fact, look good. And according to the collection's creative leader, Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom, that was exactly the intention of KOMPISHÄNG. 'We stated very early that the products should feel like “real” furniture, even if we added solutions that made them perfect for moving,' she tells .
12 versatile pieces make up the collection, including the Red Pine Side Table that can fold up and fit over your shoulder and the Birch Stools which can act as seats or, when stacked, a two-tiered table. Made from wood, steel, and canvas and available in neutral tones with subtle pops of color, these pieces are designed for longevity. They're durable enough to move with you from home to home and tasteful enough to complement whatever design style you adopt.
Beyond its convenience and style, what makes the KOMPISHÄNG collection even more desirable is its affordability – every piece costs less than $200. Consider it a reminder that although the act of moving can be expensive, your furniture doesn't have to be, and just because something's priced cheaply doesn't mean it won't endure.
As a limited edition line, IKEA's KOMPISHÄNG collection is limited edition, so it won't be in stock long. Below, shop the entire KOMPISHÄNG range and find the pieces that'll make your next move a lot more manageable.
This foldable desk can double as a dining table in a small apartment. It features a durable, easy-to-clean wood surface and sturdy steel legs that fold inward. When not in use, fold it up and tuck it in a closet to create more space.
With its sculptural silhouette, this bookend is more of an art object than a traditional book holder. Plus, its vibrant red color makes it all the more design-driven. It can hold several books within its steel frame, and when it's time to move, it's easy to pick up and transport.
Moving with plants is hard, but not when you have this handy plant pot bag. Aside from the spacious interior and handles on either side, this pot bag is designed with a mesh liner that extends upwards to protect the branches of taller plants as you transport them.
Extra seating and instant storage, all in one. These stools are perfect for small living rooms, dorms, or other entertainment spaces. They'll serve as extra seats when needed, and after your guests leave, stack them in a corner to create a makeshift, two-tiered shelving unit.
Just like the Green Pine Desk, this side table is collapsible by design for convenient transportation. Because of the circular frame around its base, you can carry it over your shoulder as if it's a tote bag. Set it down and pop it into place, and it's back to being a practical side table for any room in your home.
What looks like an unassuming bag is, in fact, a spacious storage idea with three inner compartments for organization. Designed with top straps, this bag can hang from a closet tension rod. And when it comes time to move, you can wear it like a backpack to transport clothes with ease.
KOMPISHÄNG is filled with clever dorm room ideas, including this door storage compartment. Hung from any door, it'll create extra storage in a room with its fabric pockets and its hooks. Plus, it'll hardly take up any space.
Moving takes a toll on your body – especially when you're forced to carry lots of heavy things from place to place. With this roller bag, the act of moving is far less strenuous. After a move, keep it in a closet and use it for transporting laundry.
Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom explains that some KOMPISHÄNG pieces support customization, and this mirror is one of them. 'You can display photos, postcards, or memories even if you're not allowed to put nails in the wall,' she says. Just slide them between the mirror's wood frame to create a personalized piece.
Let comfort travel with you with this cleverly designed back cushion. Prop it up against any wall in your home and watch as its angular shape creates a cozy backrest. Made with a top handle, this cushion is easy to move.
As a miniature version of the floor mirror, this table mirror is made with the same clever design. You can slide pictures, postcards, or other mementos between its frame.
This door-mounted hanger features several pegs on which you hang clothing accessories or bags. It'll help you maximize the space in a small bedroom while making use of an otherwise plain door.
Although IKEA's KOMPISHÄNG collection was designed with renters and students in mind, these pieces can adapt to any lifestyle – from those who move apartments every year to those who've owned their home for the last 20. Clearly, these pieces are clever enough to go the distance and stylish enough to make any place truly feel like home – no matter how temporary it is.
