I’m an IKEA Superfan — This New Item Will Be the Next “It” Furniture Trend

IKEA is known for crafting furniture and decor that absolutely dominates the internet’s style feeds (think: the matchstick lamp, its mid-century-modern-style armchair, and the return of the 1985 BYAKKORE shelf). How many of those rang a bell? Well, there’s a new stool that I feel is on the precipice of becoming the next it item. 

It’s a super-versatile orange stool that’s so simple, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. It has all the must-have features to be a viral hit.

The OMMJÄNGE is a bench-style stool that is designed in a reddish-orange hue. The seat of the stool is an inverted triangle shape, and the legs are simple cylindrical dowels — all of which work together to make the piece toe the line between art and functional furniture.

It’s made of solid pine and is super stable, which makes it a great option for extra seating — or to use as a side table or plant stand. It’s lightweight enough to easily move around your space. And at just under $40, it’s an easy investment to make.

The OMMJÄNGE collection is inspired by Swedish folk art, which is evident in the design and color of this stool. Because it looks both modern and traditional, this little stool will fit perfectly into so many different aesthetics; you’ll find endless ways to use it.

Compare the OMMJÄNGE stool to this one from Wayfair, which has a similar folk art feel. This one stands a few inches taller than the IKEA version, but the rough, angular cuts of the legs and top give a similar feel to the triangular seat and dowel legs of the OMMJÄNGE stool. But the big difference is that this one from Wayfair is nearly $200.

However you decide to use the OMMJÄNGE stool around your house, you’ll love how simple, sweet, and high-quality it is. And because its shape is such a standout, you might be seeing it all over your social media feeds sooner than later — grab it before it’s too late!
