IKEA and XBOX have launched a nine-piece gaming furniture collection in the Philippines, with movable TV stands, cable storage, and seating designed for homes where gaming shares space with work, studying, and meals.

Called YXSTABY, the collection brings together furniture design and gaming hardware expertise. IKEA introduced it at its Pasay showroom on Nov. 4, using room displays to show how the pieces fit into different home setups.

The collection addresses practical needs beyond having a dedicated gaming desk. A TV stand on wheels allows users to move their screen between rooms, while a rolling side table keeps controllers and other accessories within reach.

A cable storage piece has felt inserts to protect its contents and unfolds into a laptop stand. The gaming lounge chair supports both leaning forward during play and reclining during longer sessions.

XBOX controller designs also appear across the collection. A cushion and stainless steel platter take their shape from the controller’s directional pad, while a tilting stool draws from its analog thumbstick.

A mirrored display box provides space for controllers and gaming collectibles.

“The YXSTABY collection is inspired by XBOX gaming controllers, designed around the way gamers actually play, and splashed with IKEA’s sense of fun,” said Sarah Cox, selling manager, IKEA Philippine.

For households with limited space, the movable pieces allow gaming equipment to follow the room’s changing use throughout the day. The collection is available at IKEA’s Pasay showroom and through its Philippine website.
