Unleash your inner 80s design enthusiast! IKEA is bringing back its iconic BYAKORRE open shelving unit, a timeless piece that's been making waves since its original launch. But here's the catch: these retro shelves are selling out fast, and at a price that might make your wallet cry. The original GUIDE/ENETRI design, a favorite among design lovers, is now fetching over £1000 at auctions. So, if you're eyeing this retro revival, you'd better be quick! The BYAKORRE, a reimagined version of the 1985 GUIDE shelf by Niels Gammelgaard, is back in the spotlight. The updated design, part of IKEA's NYTILLVERKAD collection, offers a bargain at £129, but it's not staying on the shelves for long. The shelf's popularity is no surprise, given its stunning versatility. The GUIDE design, a result of Gammelgaard's creative discovery, allows for reversible shelves in white and anthracite grey, with the edge highlighted in various colors. This customizable feature has made it a favorite, and the reissued ENETRI version is now selling for around £600 on resale sites. But the controversy arises when some US customers express concerns about the shelves' stability. IKEA, however, addresses this issue, ensuring the shelves can stand steady on uneven floors due to adjustable feet. The design's colorful roots are celebrated in this updated version, offering a playful twist on the original. So, if you're a fan of the 80s aesthetic or simply love the idea of customizable, colorful shelves, don't miss out on this limited-time offer. But be warned, these shelves are selling out fast, and if you miss out, there are alternatives like the Habitat x Scion Esala Wide Shelving Unit or the La Redoute Giorgio Wall-Mounted Bookcase to consider. Will you be grabbing a piece of design history or opting for a modern twist? The choice is yours, but act fast before these shelves become a thing of the past!
