Ikea has introduced a new blow-up chair as part of its upcoming PS 2026 collection. The chair underwent a unique testing process involving cats.
The Swedish furniture giant spent 26 years perfecting inflatable furniture for this release. The chair is designed to be durable and pet-friendly.
During development, cats played a role in testing the furniture’s resilience. Their claws and playful behavior helped ensure the chair could withstand everyday wear.
The PS 2026 collection focuses on lightweight, portable, and playful designs. The inflatable chair fits this vision by offering easy setup and storage.
Ikea applied lessons from past attempts at inflatable furniture to create a more robust product. The company emphasized material strength and seam integrity.
The chair features a minimalist aesthetic consistent with Ikea’s design philosophy. It is intended for both indoor and outdoor use.
This release marks a shift toward more experimental and flexible furniture solutions. Ikea aims to appeal to younger, space-conscious consumers.
The chair will be available in select markets later this year. Pricing and specific dimensions have not yet been announced.
