IKEA works in collaboration with printmaker Marimekko on the new BASTUA collection that is set to launch in March next month. It features limited-edition designs with 26 items to drop and it includes furniture, textiles, and glassware. The pieces are adorned with vibrant patterns that are inspired by nature themes.
Henrik Most, the Creative Leader at IKEA speaks about the project, noting that "Collaborating with Marimekko was a natural choice for IKEA as we are both committed to enabling a better everyday life at home, and with the BASTUA collection, it begins with focusing on wellness first. The collaboration encapsulates the sensations of endless summers and the simple and aesthetic beauty of Nordic nature in furniture and accessories for the home."
