Moving from one apartment to the next entirely on your own is no small feat. I’ve been there myself—namely, on a hot sub2way train with a framed painting awkwardly wedged under one arm and three overstuffed tote bags slung over the other—and I’ve watched plenty of city dwellers do the same. Sometimes the only way to get a dining chair from point A to point B is to lug it there yourself. Leave it to IKEA to make these solo moves markedly less stressful.

Portability was the starting point for the Swedish retailer’s newest collection. Dubbed Kompishäng, the launch comprises3 11 pieces, each engineered to be carried in clever ways—often on your back or shoulders so your hands stay free. The items are also designed to get you settled into a new place fast. Take the solid pine desk, which assembles without tools: two pulls, two clicks, and—voila!—you’re ready to work. The same piece hides a built-in handle beneath the tabletop, so you can haul it from room to room.
