IKEA and Xboxs YXSTABY gaming furniture is functional without being in your face

IKEA's collaboration with Xbox is now live, the YXSTABY collection offering new gaming-inspired furniture and accessories.

IKEA and Xboxs YXSTABY gaming furniture is functional without being in your face

The IKEA and Xbox partnership has launched a new gaming-inspired furniture collection called YXSTABY. The collection, named after a Swedish locality containing letters from the Xbox controller buttons, includes nine pieces co-designed by IKEA and Xbox. The YXSTABY collection debuted at Gamescom in August, showcasing a range of products with varying levels of gaming references.

Key items include a TV stand on castor wheels, a stool resembling an Xbox controller thumbstick, a controller platter, a D-pad cushion, and a lounge chair. The platter and cushion are subtle enough not to appear gaming-centric, while the chair's design intentionally nods to Xbox aesthetics. The YXSTABY Gaming thumb stick stool, however, will only be available for one year, making it a time-sensitive addition to the collection.

The YXSTABY collection is available in physical stores and online, with online availability in the U.S. starting November 30.
