traditional gaming aesthetic.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Whether its black pleather gaming thrones adorned with neon green stitching 
or gargantuan metal desks that are absolutely covered in RGB lighting, theres 
no getting around the fact that 'gaming' products normally follow a very 
distinct aesthetic. 

As cringeworthy as it may be to some, Ive personally grown quite accustomed 
to the look and cant deny that a fully decked out, RGB illuminated gaming 
cave isnt an appealing prospect. Still, its hard to imagine anyone picking up 
any of the best gaming chairs for work, lest they look a bit silly on their 
next Zoom meeting. 

Luckily, this seems to be exactly where IKEA's upcoming Brnnboll gaming 
collection comes in. Launching in September this year, the collection aims to 
challenge traditional gaming design by moving away from the typical thematic 
and darker-toned aesthetics. Instead, it embraces a unique, playful look that 
leaves it looking more like, well, normal furniture. 

Although it includes a dedicated gaming station described as a foldable table 
top with integrated PC tower storage, the collection mainly focuses on a 
range of seating options. This includes a bagel-shaped inflatable gaming 
cushion, complete with a matching footstool, a rocking-chair like suspended 
seat that can move back and forth as you play, and a fold-out armchair that 
seems perfect for when you just want to kick back and relax. This comes 
alongside various matching accessories, such as a mouse mat and a rug. 

Its clear that the collection is aimed at more casual audiences, but its 
still great to see some companies experimenting with how gaming products can 
look. Its definitely a far cry from IKEA's last gaming collection, which was 
created in collaboration with ASUS ROG and looked more like something from 
that fell off of a red and black spaceship than anything that you would find 
in your average home. You might also like... Roku TVs may soon have the
