Ikea and Raffaella Mangiarotti unveil two new floor lamps as the latest addition to their collaboration. The Swedish furniture brand first partnered with the Milanese industrial designer in January 2025 on the ‘Bäcknate’ lamp collection. Now, Mangiarotti delivers two statement lighting designs, ‘Mossplym’ and ‘Trådnate’.

The designs stand alone and are quite distinct, yet what remains consistent is a high-quality look partnered with accessible pricing. Mangiarotti designed both lamps as sculptural pieces, to command attention rather than to blend in.
‘The new lamps combine an uplight and a reading light – a dual function that often results in two elements that feel artificially joined,’ says Mangiarotti. ‘It was important for me to bring something beautiful into a residential space, combining two functions rooted in Nordic design principles without compromising aesthetics.’
Both lamps are designed to create an ambient glow while also having the focus of a task light. The ‘Mossplym’ is made from solid oak, blow-moulded glass and Italian white Carrara marble. It offers a light or dark oak stem, which sits on a marble base. The glass shade is softly rounded, imitating the form of a flower blossom. This is completed with a smaller, adjustable lower shade for users to direct light where needed.
‘Trådnate’ is more angular, with an architectural form. This is inspired by Mangiarotti's industrial designs, influenced by the geometry of nature. It has two parallel structural supports, each holding an opaque shade, casting light in opposing directions.
While Ikea's designs are rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, these two new additions mark the brand's lighting shift towards a more international, shared contemporary design language.
Mangiarotti’s partnership with Ikea is a long-term collaboration, with additional lighting pieces in development. Her debut collection, which comprised a table and floor lamp with an orchid-like form made from folded paper, was nominated for the Compasso d'Oro, Italy's oldest and most prestigious design award.

Says the Milan-based designer, ‘I've always had a passion for lighting, and it's a dream to be able to combine different functions and typologies of light – with the kind of global reach only accessible to Ikea.’
‘Trådnate’, £50, coming soon; ‘Mossplym’, £70, available now from the Ikea website or in store.
