In celebration of the Lunar New Year, IKEA US recently launched the FÖSSTA collection. This collection honors the beginning of the Asian Lunar calendar, a time when billions of people come together with friends and family to welcome the new year.
With products running from $2.50 to $59.99, the FÖSSTA collection consists of 32 affordable home furnishing pieces including linens, table settings, decor and more. The collection brings in traditional designs and motifs such as plum blossoms, lanterns, and rabbits - this year’s Zodiac symbol. Everything was designed with feedback from the Asian markets to help consumers create an inviting and festive home.
Consumers can find the entire collection online and in IKEA US retailers across the nation.
