The IKEA 'Botanisk' collection is a new lineup of products designed to put a focus on natural materials and provide an alternative for urban consumers with a green thumb to choose when gardening.
The collection consists of six products like baskets, pots, plant pot cover and tool bags, which are all made from sustainable materials. This includes jute, banana fiber and cotton to ensure they have an eco-friendly profile now and in the future when they are no longer functional for use.
The IKEA 'Botanisk' collection was developed by a group of social entrepreneurs and includes products that are all made by hand by skilled artisans in countries including Romania, India, Thailand and Jordan.
