The IKEA GULDSPETT series introduces a range of handcrafted paper flowers designed as decorative interior objects. The collection includes familiar floral types such as roses, poppies, cosmos, and ranunculus, each shaped with folded paper petals and soft tonal gradients. The stems incorporate flexible wire structures that allow the forms to be bent and arranged into different compositions. The designs replicate natural flower structures through layered construction and textured surfaces, using paper as the primary material.
The flowers are produced as ready-made pieces that can be displayed individually or grouped into arrangements. Variations in height, color, and petal density create visual contrast across the series. The materials require minimal maintenance and are intended for indoor use. The collection is positioned within IKEA’s decorative accessories offering and is available across multiple markets as part of its seasonal home range.
