IKEA Launches Virgil Abloh Collection On 31 Oct

Hypebeasts around the world were thrilled when IKEA announced its collaboration with Off-White designer Virgil Abloh earlier this year.

The MARKERAD collection, which comprises household items like rugs, bed covers, as well as other furniture is set to launch in Singapore on Thursday (31 Oct).

Like most things with high demand, the IKEA Virgil Abloh saw snaking queues at both IKEA outlets in Singapore from Wednesday (30 Oct) evening, one day before its launch.

Many items already sold out

If you’re dropping by IKEA later during lunch to cop a few items, do note that each customer is only allowed 2 purchases and 4 chairs.

Many of the products are already sold out, as of the time of the article, so we advise managing your expectations if you’re heading down.
