The IKEA BÄSINGEN collection has been designed by Sarah Fager as a range of products for the bathroom and around the house that will support consumers with special needs for an enhanced sense of independence. The collection prioritizes a minimalist design to prove that supportive accessories for those with special needs don't have to maintain an austere aesthetic. The collection includes a shower chair, two types of stools, a towel rail, toilet paper roll holder and a shower shelf that are all stylishly designed.
The IKEA BÄSINGEN collection is priced starting at $12 and is perfect for supporting seniors who are aging in place, while also being great for consumers with special needs or simply as a way to make everyday family living a little easier.
