IKEA Australia teamed up with creators from different industries to create IKEA Mindsets to encourage moments of mindfulness. The limited-edition miniature flatpack sets quickly sold out, which makes sense during a time when people are spending more time at home and exploring meditation, screen-free activities and other opportunities for introspection.
The limited-edition IKEA Mindsets includes a DIY xylophone created by Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins and artwork by street artist Fintan Magee, as well as a pet puzzle, a bird box, a set of coasters that doubles as a jigsaw puzzle. To accompany each item, the collaborators curated a Spotify playlist of their own that can be enjoyed while mindfully putting together the simple flatpack designs.
