宜家为庆祝品牌的75岁生日，推出一系列家具，它们分别是发布于20世纪50年代至21世纪的作品。

为纪念这一特别的节日，这家瑞典家居巨头公司将重新推出其75年来最受欢迎且最具标志性的三大系列产品。

IKEA is rolling out a series of furniture collections incorporating relaunched pieces from the 1950s to the 2000s, in celebration of its 75th birthday.
To commemorate its anniversary, the Swedish furniture giant will be re-introducing some of its most popular and iconic products from the past 75 years in three different collections.

宜家公司于1943年7月由Ingvar Kamprad在瑞典阿姆霍特市郊成立，这家公司已从一个青少年骑着自行车经营的一家小型邮购公司转变为世界上最大的家居零售商。

该家居公司回顾了过去辉煌的三套经典宜家产品。

该系列名为Gratulera，它们诠释宜家从20世纪50年代到21世纪的家具、照明设施和餐具。其中就包括了宜家的第一款Klippan沙发和复古的Ekenäset扶手椅。

Since being founded in July 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad on the outskirts of Älmhult, Sweden, IKEA has transformed from being a small post order business "ran by a teenager on a bike", to being the world's largest furniture retailer.
The furniture company has looked to its past to create three collections of its classic IKEA products.
Named the Gratulera series the collections will feature reinterpretations of IKEA's furniture, lighting and tableware pieces from the 1950s to the 2000s, including products like the company's first Klippan sofa and its retro Ekenäset armchair.


这三个系列的划分时间点为20年／The three collections will each contain furniture from a period of 20 years

宜家的创意总监Karin Gustavsson说：“每个系列都独一无二，它们代表了一个时代。从具有经典表达的暗色木材，到色彩强烈、戏谑的作品风格，再到更自然的斯堪的纳维亚木材和图形颜色。”

她继续说；“其中一些产品已成为古董家具的标志，它们如今无处不在，我仍然会在拍卖会和二手商店买下宜家的老家具，从中我看到人们对历史和遗产的渴望。”

"Each launch is different to the other, signifying its time period; from dark woods with a classic expression, to a very playful style with strong colours and then to a more natural look with Scandinavian woods and graphic colours," said IKEA's creative leader Karin Gustavsson.
"Some of the products are icons of vintage furniture – they're everywhere today!," she continued. "I still buy IKEA vintage in auctions and second-hand shops. I see people having this desire for history and heritage."


20世纪70年代和80年代系列作品的特点是色彩鲜艳／The 1970s and 1980s collection features bright and colourful items

第一批系列作品为50年代至60年代推出的产品，它们将于8月份亮相。第二批为70年代至80年代的产品，于10月份推出，第三批为90年代到21世纪推出的产品，将于12月与大家见面。

这些“经典家居”由宜家官方选出，因其数量有限，所以欲购从速。

The first collection that takes items originally launched in the 1950s and 1960s will be available in August, the second taking items from the 1970s and 1980s in October, and the third from the 1990s and 2000s in December.
These "golden oldies" have been hand-selected by IKEA, and will need to be snapped up quick, as only a limited number are being made.


第二个系列为70年代到80年代的产品／The second collection will features items originally released in the 1970s and 1980

50-60年代复古系列产品的特点为世纪中叶的黑木和优雅的线条。例如该公司在1956年推出的Lövet桌，这是第一张平装桌子，它在2013年被重新设计，并更名为Lövbacken。

三腿边桌的叶形台面由杨木单板制成，三个可拆卸的桌腿上安装着金色的桌脚。

The retro 1950-1960s range will feature midcentury darker woods and classic lines. This collection includes the company's 1956 Lövet table – it's first flat-pack table, which was re-engineered and renamed Lövbacken in 2013.
The three-legged side table features a leaf-shaped tabletop made from poplar veneer, and has three detachable beech legs with gold-coloured accents on the feet.


20世纪90年代和21世纪系列作品将于12月亮相／The 1990s and 2000s collection will be released in December

宜家的设计师Gillis Lundgren发现，将桌子塞进车中非常困难，于是他提出把桌腿拆除，从而意外地创造了平装家具。

创意总监Karin Gustavsson说：“标志之所以是标志，因为它出乎意料，或者说是当时的一项创新。”

她补充说：“就像Lövbacken桌一样，它非常酷，它只有三条腿，桌腿覆盖着金属，这是我们的第一批产品。”

The original design was conceived when IKEA designer Gillis Lundgren was unable to fit the table in his car. By sawing off the legs, Lundgren inadvertently created flat-pack furniture.
"An icon is an icon because it's unexpected, or considered an innovation of its time," said creative leader Karin Gustavsson.
"Like the Lövbacken table (previously known as Lövet), such a cool statement piece, with only three legs, the tips covered in metal. It's our first knock down product," she added.


最后一系列为90年代到21世纪的简约设计作品／The final collection features the clean and minimal design language of the 1990s and 2000s

随着时间的推移，70到80年代系列作品将会在10月份发布，它们色彩丰富，形态有趣，例如钢丝椅、大胆的印花，其中就有Klippan软垫沙发。

Gustavsson说：“我喜欢那些像蓬松夹克一样的被子，它们很酷，颜色也很鲜艳。这是向孟菲斯学派的致敬，它们在80年代非常流行。”

她补充说：“Klippan沙发是我们发布的首批低价沙发，这也是它成为这个时代象征的原因。”

Moving forward in time, the 1970s and 1980s-inspired collection released in October will contain colourful and fun designs, with wire chairs and bold prints – including the cushiony Klippan sofa.
"I just love the covers that are like puffy jackets – they're cool and colourful," said Gustavsson. "It’s a tribute to the Memphis group, an 80s design movement that was very popular during that time."
"The Klippan sofa was one of the first affordable sofas we had to offer, which is why it’s an icon of its time," she added.


这三个系列产品将限量发售／All three collections will be available in limited numbers

到今年12月，宜家将推出20世纪90年代到21世纪的系列作品，它们更加简洁，有着原始金色的斯堪的纳维亚木材和图形图案。

Gustavsson说：“在90年代，我们追求一种更加自然的表达方式。我认为Thomas Sandell的雕塑家具极具标志性。一端有轮子、另一端有腿的小长凳，在当时便十分流行。”

宜家在最新的Dezeen热榜上位居第一，最近它们还发布了与Virgil Abloh、Craig Green合作设计的地毯。而今年早些时候还推出了该公司的第一款音响。

In December, IKEA will embrace the more clean and minimal design language of the 1990s and 2000s, boasting a fusion of untreated, blonde Scandinavian woods with graphic patterns.
"During the 90s, we went for a more natural expression," said Gustavsson. "I think the sculptural furniture of Thomas Sandell is iconic. The small bench with wheels on one end, and legs on the other, was a design piece desired by so many people at that time."
IKEA, which topped the latest Dezeen Hotlist, has recently released collaborated with Virgil Abloh and Craig Green to create a collection of statement rugs and earlier this year released its first range of speakers.
