Air purifier disguised as a side table — clever IKEA design meets filtration
Visit IKEA →The IKEA STARKVIND reimagines what an air purifier can look like by combining effective air purification with functional furniture design. Available as a side table with a built-in air purifier or as a standalone floor unit, STARKVIND blends seamlessly into your living space without screaming 'air purifier.' The three-stage filtration includes a pre-filter, true HEPA filter, and activated carbon filter that captures dust, pollen, and household odors. What makes STARKVIND genuinely clever is its dual purpose — the table version provides a useful surface area while quietly cleaning the air from below. With app control through IKEA Home smart, you can adjust fan speed, set timers, and monitor filter life. It's perfect for small apartments, bedrooms, and anyone who prefers their appliances to be seen and not noticed.
Clever design doubles as a functional side table. The top surface provides space for lamps, books, or decor, while the air purifier works quietly underneath. Available in table or floor-standing versions.
Three-stage filtration with pre-filter, true HEPA filter, and activated carbon filter. Captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and mold spores.
Control your STARKVIND through the IKEA Home smart app. Adjust fan speed, set timers, check filter status, and create automations. Works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa for voice control.
Designed to blend in — the air intake is at the bottom and clean air exits from the top, hidden under the table surface. Five fan speeds let you balance purification with noise level.

Yes, that's the whole point! The table top is designed to hold everyday items like lamps, books, plants, or your coffee mug. IKEA rates it for normal residential use as a side table. Just be careful not to block the air intake at the bottom or the outlet at the top.
Replacement filters are available at IKEA stores and on IKEA.com. The HEPA filter typically needs replacement every 6-12 months depending on usage and air quality. Unlike universal filters, STARKVIND uses IKEA-specific filters, so you'll need to plan ahead for replacements.
Yes, STARKVIND integrates with the IKEA Home smart ecosystem. You can control it through the IKEA Home smart app, and it's compatible with TRADFRI remote controls. It also works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa for voice control of fan speed and power.
The IKEA STARKVIND is the best-looking air purifier we've tested and a brilliant example of functional design. By combining an air purifier with a side table, IKEA has created a product that actually adds to your room's decor rather than cluttering it. While the filtration performance isn't class-leading, it's solid enough for small to medium rooms. If you want effective air purification that doesn't look like an appliance, STARKVIND is the clear winner.
