The key is a set of newly designed wooden dowels attached to the joints of each piece, replacing the annoying screws and locks that the company traditionally uses. These dowels are placed at a 45-degree angle along the wedged ends of each board, allowing for more natural support than the usual 90-degree orientation. The boards are also made of a lighter material, designed to lessen the stress on each corner.
The Regissör series goes on sale this month at US Ikea locations, with prices ranging from $139 for the table to $349 for the cabinet.
