IKEA and Xbox have brought the YXSTABY collection to the Philippines, a line of gaming furniture built for homes where the setup has to share space with everything else.
What Is in the IKEA Xbox YXSTABY Collection
IKEA recently launched the collection at its Pasay showroom, with each piece drawn from the shapes and habits of controller play:
- Gaming lounge chair, Php 6,999: Holds a forward-leaning position for early gameplay and a reclined one for longer sessions.
- TV stand on castors, Php 6,999: Rolls a full setup from the bedroom to the living room.
- Rolling side table, Php 9,999: Keeps controllers, headsets, and drinks within reach.
- Tilting thumbstick stool, Php 2,999: Takes its shape from the analogue stick, with a seat that tilts.
- D-pad cushion, Php 999: The plus-shaped directional button, as a floor cushion.
- Cable storage, Php 1,799: Felt inserts keep leads protected, and the piece unfolds into a laptop stand.
- Mirrored display box, Php 1,499: Sized for prized controllers and gaming collectibles.
Designed Around Controller Shapes
The Xbox side shows in the details that could only come from a controller. The D-pad cushion mirrors the plus-shaped directional button, the stool echoes the analogue stick, and a stainless steel platter repeats the D-pad’s cross for keys or snacks.
“XBOX knows what players need from their gaming setup, and we know how to solve the small problems that come with adapting that to everyday life at home. Together, we set out to make furniture people really want in their home, not furniture they accept because it is what you need to game,” says Philip Dille, Product Design Developer at IKEA of Sweden.
Carl Ledbetter, Head of Design for Xbox Devices, says both companies share a design ethos of helping people solve everyday problems. Sarah Cox, IKEA Philippines Selling Manager, adds that the range is inspired by Xbox controllers, designed around how gamers actually play, and splashed with IKEA’s sense of fun.
May Castillo, IKEA Philippines Sales Leader, says the collection leans on IKEA’s pricing and on how people really live at home, and notes that the Philippines ranks first globally among internet users who play video games on any device, at an average of 11 hours a week.
