Wooden Children Furniture

The IKEA FLISAT Series is at Once Simple and Playful

— March 31, 2016 — Life-Stages
It's easy to see why both parents and their children will love the IKEA FLISAT series. Although made for kids in all the ways that matter, the simplicity of the designs will ensure the home doesn't look like a theme park. In a way, the aesthetic of the IKEA FLISAT series could be likened to cardboard boxes, which have been a staple toy for children for ages.

Of course, the IKEA FLISAT series is not made out of cardboard but wood. Designed by grow as the children grow, each piece has more than one lifespan. As an example, the doll house can be hung on a wall and used as a shelf when a child doesn't want to play with it anymore.

3. Playful Minimalism - The demand for simple, yet playful designs like the IKEA FLISAT series shows the potential for disruptive innovation in the children's furniture industry, allowing companies to combine functionality with creativity.
Industry Implications
