If you're a gamer with a design bug,Watch Private Video Magazine 7 IKEA thinks you'll love it's new collection of "gaming furniture," due in stores in September 2024.
The furniture giant says that its 20-piece Brännboll collection "challenges traditional gaming design" and should more peacefully co-exist in aesthetic harmony within your home than, say, a Secretlab gaming chair.

Much of Brännboll looks like regular old IKEA furniture, accessorized with an Asus ROG Ally console or a Meta Quest 2 VR headset. The gaming market is currently estimated to be worth about $282 billion in the US alone and IKEA's only previous foray into the industry was a small line of black and red gaming furniture in 2021.

A rolling castor stores gaming tech and accessories. Credit: IKEA Some pieces do actually make sense for gamers, like a tall standing cabinet that opens to reveal a fold-down tabletop with storage for a PC and monitor (also a handy piece for folks working at home). A second item, a green desk chair, resembles the design of the kind of traditional gaming chairs IKEA claims to be moving away from. A third piece, the "easy chair," is described as providing a new "dynamic component of the virtual gaming experience" by "engag[ing] the gamer physically, swinging from side to side in harmony with their movement."
SEE ALSO: The best gaming headset for every platformThe core of Brännboll is the easy chair and several low-to-the-ground seats, including an inflatable donut-shaped concoction that is so light it can be hung from a hook on the wall. A mouse pad, rug, and throw and storage solutions like a wall-mounted cabinet, wheeled castor, and a multifunctional basket round out the collection.
