宜家推出了一系列节省空间的家居用品，这些产品深受太空生活的启发，迎合微型住宅顾客的需求。

该系列名为“Rumtid”，其中包括四款不同的产品，用于研究一些不同的问题：时间、空间、水和空气。

该系列产品以宜家去年在犹他州的美国宇航局火星沙漠研究站（ NASA Mars Desert Research Station）进行的项目为基础，目的是“探索未来城市小空间生活的需求”。

宜家在2018年6月7日，同时也是民主设计日（Democratic Design Days），推出了前三款产品，分别是空气净化器、新型超轻材料和小型室内花园。

IKEA has previewed a collection of space-saving furniture and homeware inspired by life in space, to cater to customers living in micro homes.
The Rumtid collection will consist of four different product ranges that explore different issues: time, space, water and air.
These are based on research carried out by IKEA at the the NASA Mars Desert Research Station in Utah last year, to "explore the future needs of urban, small space living".
The brand unveiled the first three designs during Democratic Design Days, its annual two-day conference, yesterday, 7 June 2018. They include a redesign of the air purifier, a new super-lightweight material and a small indoor garden.


该系列产品有由“木材和废物”制成的轻质单板材料，它们可以与连接器连接在一起／The space-inspired products will include a lightweight veneer material made out of "wood and waste", which can be joined together with connectors

新型轻质单板材料由“木材和废物”制成，这种材料被制成坚固的空心管，通过连接器组装在一起，形成定制的家具系统。

宜家表示，该产品具有良好的灵活性和可持续生产性，贴面组件是小型空间生活家具的理想选择。

宜家的设计主管Marcus Engman在民主设计日发表讲话时，称呼这些部件为脚手架系统。他说：“你可以用它来创造属于自己的东西。”

Michael Nikolic领导着由七名设计师组成的项目团队，他补充说：“我们可以将管子切割成不同的长度，然后组装在一起，就可以建造任何东西，例如沙发、衣柜、床，或者其它家具。”

“这是一种高科技、高效率的自然资源利用方式。”

The new lightweight veneer material is made out of "wood and waste", rolled into strong hollow tubes. The tubes can be joined together with connectors to form custom furniture solutions.
Due to the system's flexibility and its sustainable production process, IKEA said the veneer components are ideal for creating furniture for small space living
Speaking at Democratic Design Days, IKEA's head of design, Marcus Engman, described the components as a scaffolding system. "You can be creative with it and build your own stuff," he said.
"By cutting the tubes into different lengths and clamping them together we can build just about anything, be it sofas, wardrobes, beds, or something else completely," added creative Michael Nikolic, who led a group of seven designers for the project.
"This is a high-tech, efficient way of using our natural resources."


“Rumtid”系列还包括新型空气净化器／The Rumtid collection also includes a new take on the air purifier

尽管空气净化器的细节还没有完全公布，但给出的图片显示了设计方案，它有三种尺寸，和红、绿、白三种颜色。

“Rumtid”花园也是如此，它看起来像水族馆。

宜家透露，新推出的系列还有“清洁空气的功能性纺织品”。

Few details have been released of the air purifiers, but images show boxy designs featuring geometric-cutout patterns. They will come in three different sizes and three colours: green, red and off-white.
The same goes for the Rumtid Garden, which looks like some kind of terrarium.
IKEA revealed that collection will also include a "functional textile [that] cleans the air".

宜家在2017年首次公布了以太空旅行为灵感的项目，它们与美国宇航局（NASA）和隆德大学（Lund University）工业设计学院合作开发，旨在向科学家和工程师学习经验，这些专家们都致力于开发太空旅游产品。

宜家的Siri Skillgate、 Elea Nouraud、Jon Karlsson, Philipp Süssmann、Jingbei Zheng, Robert Janson 和 Pauline Matika都参与了这个项目：“我们希望从极端的情景中学习经验，并将它们与地球联系起来，从而重点关注城市化和小空间生活。”

该团队还在东京感受了胶囊酒店，亲身体验城市小空间。

Skillgate说：“在东京，有一种关于小空间生活的内在思维，即模块化和机动性。在日本人的家中和胶囊旅馆里，一些有趣的设计思路都给了我们设计的灵感，尤其是其存储空间。”

“我们的思维极段一些。因为太空是一种极端的生活空间，而居住在东京的太空舱也是一种极端的思路，所以我们想从中吸取经验，从而设计出更好的方案。”

这些新产品在2018年6月7日的宜家民主设计日发布，地点位于瑞典的阿姆霍特（Älmhult）。

该品牌还展示了由Teenage Engineering设计的便携式派对系列，还有瑞典艺术家Per B Sundberg的极大主义设计和时尚设计师Virgil Abloh的新产品。

这些受太空启发的产品只是即将推出的部分新产品，它们已经在瑞典阿姆霍特的宜家民主设计日中亮相。

Rumtid系列将于2020年在商店推出。

IKEA first announced plans for the space-travel-inspired range in 2017. Developed in collaboration with NASA and Lund University School of Industrial Design, it aims to learn from the experiences of scientists and engineers developing vehicles for space travel.
"We want to learn from extreme scenarios and connect them back to Earth, focusing on urbanisation and small space living," said IKEA's Siri Skillgate, who worked on the project with Elea Nouraud, Jon Karlsson, Philipp Süssmann, Jingbei Zheng, Robert Janson and Pauline Matika.
The team also spent time in Tokyo staying in capsule hotels, to experience urban small-space living first hand.
"In Tokyo, there’s a literal built-in thinking around small space living that allows for modularity and mobility," said Skillgate. We felt really inspired by all of the interesting solutions in people's homes and at the capsule hotels – particularly when it comes to storage."
"What we wanted to do was to go into the extremes. Space is an extreme way of living, and the capsule living in Tokyo is also extreme, so we wanted to learn from that and do better solutions."
Several new designs were announced during IKEA's Democratic Design Days yesterday, 7 June 2018, in Älmhult, Sweden.
The brand also revealed a portable party collection by Teenage Engineering, maximalist designs by Swedish artist Per B Sundberg and new products by fashion designer Virgil Abloh.
The space-inspired products are just one of a number of upcoming collections to be previewed during IKEA's Democratic Design Days yesterday in Älmhult, Sweden.
Rumtid will launch in stores in 2020.
