Popular MALM Collection Departs Croatian IKEA Stores

IKEA has announced the gradual withdrawal of its highly successful MALM furniture collection from the Croatian market. The Swedish retailer stated that while some products will remain available until existing stock is depleted, the collection will progressively disappear from shelves throughout 2026 and 2027.

For customers who already own MALM pieces, IKEA has emphasized that post-purchase support will continue. Spare parts for the furniture will be accessible for one year, and smaller components like fittings will be available for three years. This ensures that owners can maintain and repair their existing MALM items.

While IKEA has not announced specific end-of-line sales, the company highlighted its regular seasonal promotions and commitment to maintaining accessible prices year-round. The MALM series, launched in the early 2000s, became a global bestseller due to its simple, minimalist design and straight lines, making it a popular choice for bedroom furnishings. It included items such as beds with storage, various chests of drawers, nightstands, desks, and under-bed storage drawers, with many customers furnishing entire bedrooms with the collection.

Globally, over 160 million MALM pieces have been sold, underscoring its enduring popularity over more than two decades. The collection's success is attributed to its functionality, affordability, and timeless aesthetic.
