Ikea has expanded on what is calls “open-sourced” furniture to include a customizable bedframe platform and is releasing new fabrics to go with open-sourced sofa it launched last year.

The new Delaktig (Swedish for “involved”) Part 2 series, developed again in collaboration with designer Tom Dixon, will be available in stores and online starting next month.

The modern bed frame, available in a queen size, offers a platform for consumers to add, remove and swap out related accessories, including a side table, lighting and two headboard options — black and rattan.

The bedframe is made from 50% recycled aluminum with pieces connected via bent joints for maximum stability, a production method, Ikea noted, that’s also used in the aviation industry, making for a light-weight, durable design. Special fittings (sold separately) enable users to add the headboard.

The bedframe will retail for $329, for $449 with the black headboard and for $470 with the rattan headboard.

Also in February, the retailer will release three new cover options for the original Delaktig seating platform — dusty pink, soft beige and stone gray — made of material offering higher resistance against abrasion and color-fading, Ikea said.

The company launched of the new bed, last week at a pop-up hotel it created in Lisbon, Portugal. For one night, five guests got to experience and experiment with the bed and other products designed to contribute to “a sound sleep and a good life,” Ikea said.
