When can the furniture be purchased? There is now official news from Ikea itself. From the end of January 2021 (29.1.2021), the furniture will be available at Ikea China as a pilot project, while in Germany the furniture is expected to arrive in the autumn of 2021. Ikea writes in its blog:
In the autumn of 2021, the gaming products will also move into the stores of other IKEA markets – including Germany.
More gaming furniture: Other manufacturers are also producing interesting furniture for gamers. For example, Hermann Miller introduced a $1,500 gaming chair that is said to have been developed in collaboration with 30 doctors.
This includes experts from biomechanics, optometry, physical therapy, and ergonomics. The chair looks more like a conventional office chair and does not feature gaming design.
The furniture giant Ikea and the well-known hardware manufacturer Asus have teamed up for gaming furniture. Now Ikea has officially introduced the furniture.
Gaming furniture is always an exciting topic for gamers, as it is tailored specifically to their needs. Earlier this year, Razer introduced an innovative gaming chair.
What is it about? The furniture giant Ikea is primarily known for everyday furniture like beds, tables, or cabinets, and now also has various accessories in its portfolio.
Now a leak (via Videocardz.com) has shown the first images of the new Ikea furniture that is being created in cooperation with the gaming manufacturer Asus. The collaboration between Asus and Ikea has been known since September 2020, but there have been no images of it until now.
Ikea officially presents gaming furniture with Asus
Ikea has today introduced its new gaming furniture in the official blog (via Ikea-Unternehmensblog.de), which has been developed together with Asus. Ikea already has some desks for gamers in its range, but now aims to appeal to professional players as well.
When will the furniture arrive in Germany? There is now official news from Ikea itself. From the end of January 2021 (29.1.2021), the furniture will be available at Ikea China as a pilot project, while in Germany the furniture is expected to arrive in the autumn of 2021. Ikea writes in its blog:

In addition, Ikea stated that the new furniture is intended to be a long-term part of the Ikea range and not a limited collection. However, Ikea will probably first observe how successful the new collection will be in China.

Where do the info come from? Ikea China had already posted the images of the furniture online. But perhaps too early, as the images quickly disappeared from the website. However, some users had already taken screenshots of the respective page and posted the images online. Among other things, you can see:
- a height-adjustable desk
- a pegboard with RGB lighting
- a mobile side table
All furniture comes in the typical “Republic of Gamer” style from Asus.
