Collaborations

Summertime is when we move outdoors. A favourite beach or the park down the road become an extended home. We met up with Rebecca and Alicia one chilly day in London to talk about designing vintage patterns and the work with SOLBLEKT.

Is there such a thing as too much colour? How does the creative process with IKEA differ from your solo work? Zandra Rhodes and her team have spent a couple of days with us in Sweden, and we asked our Instagram followers to send us their questions for Zandra. Here are some of her answers!

Zandra Rhodes, the pattern and textile designer dubbed the ‘Princess of Punk’, invited IKEA to her creative studio in London. Join us on our tour through a life’s worth of amazing screenprints, iconic dresses and costumes, and a workshop about beautiful and functional homes.

Behind the handmade collection BOTANISK are 5,600 talented women artisans. Ami Patel from Industree Foundation in India does not only see banana bark transformed into beautiful baskets, but also sisterhood and jobs being created.

What do you get if you ask an illustrator and a photographer to explore the juxtaposition between human and animal? Or if you ask an artist to capture moments in the modern home inspired by paintings from the 19th century? We talked to Elisabeth about the coming art print collections FUSION and MODERN LARSSON.

IKEA might be a grom when it comes to surfing experience, but teaming up with World Surf League and their community of surfers might change that. Or at least give a good understanding of what it´s like to live an active life in and around water. Because that´s what this new collaboration is about – exploring life around water to come up with new solutions for an active lifestyle and mobile living while at the same time contribute to cleaner oceans.

It’s all about function. Designer colleagues and married couple Sarah and Jens Fager don’t hesitate when asked what characterizes their work. For the upcoming VÄRMER collection the couple got a chance to work together, creating products for a more relaxed, personal – and functional – holiday season.
