These pieces by acclaimed artists and designers don’t just elevate your home decor, they are incorporated with practical functions, too.

Contemporary art has often been associated with high-end price tags, but Ikea is set on blurring the lines between art and affordable, functional design with the Ikea Art Event collection.

For the sixth edition of the annual Ikea Art Event, the Swedish furniture brand launched a limited-edition 10-piece line-up designed in collaboration with five different artists and designers: American artist Daniel Arsham, Japanese design studio Gelchop, Sweden-based artist studio Humans since 1982, Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis and Berlin-based artist Stefan Marx,

Transforming art into everyday objects that’ll amp up your space, the collection sees minimalist lighting pieces, a wall clock, a table lamp, a torch, a vase, and wall decorations. The series will drop in the Ikea Tampines and Alexandra stores on April 29 and online from May 6, with in-store purchases limited to two pieces per product.

Ahead, we tell you what you’ll want to snag.

Armed with a minimalist aesthetic, New Zealand-born and Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis was inspired by Italian painter Lucio Fontana’s slashed canvases. She sought to reimagine this simple gesture – a cut through a surface – through a light fitting, with the final designs emerging through experimentation with folding and cutting paper. They come in two different sizes, each with five different colour choices available.
