Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

IKEA Embraces the Spirit of Its Business Style for the Holidays

— March 8, 2019 — Special
IKEA stays true to its self-assembly product range with a flat-pack chocolate Easter bunny. The treat is dubbed ‘VÅRKÄNSLA' and will, without a doubt, delight fans of the furniture store with an adorably quirky aesthetic.

The holiday snack boasts a milk chocolate silhouette and encourages one to play with food — even for a little bit. It is made with UTZ-certified cacao, meaning that the product subscribes to "sustainable farming practices." The packaging features three parts that tap into the DIY-style aesthetic and fit like a puzzle. While adults are sure to find the similarity between IKEA's VÅRKÄNSLA and the style of the megastore's furniture offerings amusing, the flat-pack chocolate Easter bunny will be able to delight and engage children.
