The IKEA SANDLÖPARE collection has been announced by the furniture retailer as its new lineup of children's decor items that are inspired by the African savannah. The product range features 29 pieces in total that were created through a partnership with the Swedish wildlife conservation center Nordens Ark to help inspire families to learn more about endangered species in an approachable way.
The collection is being launched with a special promotion taking place from October 13 through November 30, 2025 which will see £1 from every sale of the soft toys in the range doing towards supporting the WWF.
Sustainability Business Partner IKEA UK & Ireland Hiliary Jenkins commented on the IKEA SANDLÖPARE collection saying, "At IKEA, we believe in creating a better everyday life for the many people, and that includes a healthy planet for all living things. Through this partnership with WWF, we can directly contribute to protecting the incredible work they do in shaping a future where people and the planet can peacefully coexist. The fact that these playful soft toys are also made entirely from recycled materials underscores our dedication to circularity and reducing our environmental footprint.”
