There’s a change in the air that can only mean one thing – a hot round of handpicked, new products from IKEA is here! Coming this February are a mix of products with styles that draw from traditional, contemporary and a little bit of country – Swedish country, that is.

New Swedish country style textiles like ÅKERKULLA, ÅKERFRAKEN, ÅKERTISTEL and more bring the calm, light and simple touch of Swedish folklore to quilt covers, rugs, cushions, curtains and more. Look for lots of red, ochre, green, grey and white in these floral and striped patterns.

Summoning a strong sense of tradition with a fresh take are pieces like the handmade, detail-rich ÄLMSTA rattan chair; and playful blue and white porcelain PROMENAD dinnerware.

There’s plenty of contemporary news, too, from the graphic patterns of KVITTRA storage boxes and bold limited edition colours of BILLY bookcases to the modern angles and cut-outs in SELJE bedside table.

Welcome to fantastic February news!

A modern sort of grandfather MORTORP deco sticker

Weighing less than a pound, MORTORP may be the world’s lightest grandfather clock. Sort of, at least, since MORTORP is technically a sticker.

MORTORP deco sticker, at 194 cm tall and with a recognizable pendulum clock design, does everything a traditional grandfather clock does–except chime. Made of transparent plastic with thick black lines, all MORTORP needs is a wall clock to complete its function (no larger than 38 cm in diameter).

MORTORP was designed by Anne de Graaf, a graduate of Artemis Styling Academy in Holland, who sent her sticker idea to IKEA on a whim. Several ticks of the clock later, her design is reality.

Handmade for the home ÄLMSTA rattan chair

Life at home wouldn’t be as easy without machines, but there will always be a love for the handmade. Maybe that’s why the new ÄLMSTA rattan chair instantly feels like home with its handmade features that make every chair unique. Soft, rounded shapes, wrapped detailing and a tightly woven herringbone-patterned seat give ÄLMSTA a strong, welcoming character.

ÄLMSTA chairs are available in natural rattan or black. The chairs are made of renewable materials like rattan on the frame and seat and bamboo on the seat back. Lightweight, sturdy and durable, ÄLMSTA chairs are versatile throughout the home, but should not be used outdoors.

That Swedish country feelingÅKERKULLA textiles and more

Clean air, warm sun, colourful wildflowers – the sensations of Swedish countryside are captured in the new ÅKERKULLA textiles. With woven checks and stripes, traditional Swedish patterns and floral illustrations in knits, rag-rugs, embroidery and crochet, these new textiles are simple and refined, yet playful, too.

Designer Eva Lundgreen drew from memories of summers at her grandparents’ country home in northern Sweden–old wreaths and medallions on wallpaper, unmatched textiles, heavy silk duvets, fine breakfast porcelain, summer flowers and hay rides. “There’s an underlying Swedish tone in everything I do, where there’s room for cheerfulness and playfulness in the midst of the somewhat strict,” Eva says.

ÅKERKULLA duvet cover/two pillowcases, panel curtain, cushions, cushion covers and low pile rugs drive the collection with their traditional flower pattern. The reversible duvets cover is woven from 100% cotton fine yarn, has 250 thread count and decorative buttons. The panel curtain is 100% polyester. The embroidered cushion is reversible and filled with duck feathers. The grey/yellow cushion cover is reversible with trimmed, ribboned corners. The thick low pile rug has a black or white background.

Other news in Swedish country style bed textiles are:

A departure from DelftwarePROMENAD dinnerware

With drifting hot air balloons, birds flying off edges and playfully-arranged, mosaic-inspired motifs, new PROMENAD dinnerware isn’t exactly traditional porcelain. But with its characteristic shades of blue on white, PROMENAD bowls and plates obviously nods to porcelain traditions of the past.

PROMENAD dinnerware includes a bowl, side plate, deep plate and dinner plate made of feldspar porcelain that’s microwave and dishwasher-safe. PROMENAD is meant to work as well for everyday breakfast cereal as it is for fine dinner parties.

Malin Åkerblom designed the motif for PROMENAD, painting with watercolour in different blue nuances before creating digital scans. ”The blue colour relates back to traditional porcelain, but the motifs are more unexpected,” Malin says. “Like the hot air balloon that represents freedom and playfulness. The motifs on PROMENAD are positioned a bit unconventionally. Depending on which direction you look at them from, you see different things in the motifs.”

With its drifting hot air balloons, flying birds and offset patterns, PROMENAD dinnerware puts a new spin on traditional blue porcelain.

Shelves that shoutBILLY bookcase white/orange

Life just got a little more exciting for people who organise their books by colour. In limited edition, BILLY bookcases are available in orange and blue. White on the outside and on shelf edges, the colour explodes from inside to make a brilliant background. The colours match IKEA seasonal colours, too, so it’s easy to collect candles, vases and more that blend right in.

BILLY bookcase open books – also in limited edition - is a mostly black with an inside pattern inspired by the fanned pages of open books. Almost wallpaper-like, pattern designer Susanna Löfgren says, “I like the way books look the moment you open and flip through them, almost like a fan. It’s very rare that we see books in this way.”

An anywhere deskMICKE desk with integrated storage

Sorry walls, it’s time for desks to move elsewhere. The new MICKE desk with integrated storage doesn’t just keep things organised, it’s finished on the back so it looks good from all angles.

MICKE desk with integrated storage is available in white or black-brown. The storage unit with four compartments, ideal for boxes and books, can be mounted to the left or right. There’s also a space at the back of the desktop to run cables through.

A contemporary cut-out SELJE bedside table

Like a favourite, dog-eared page, the new SELJE bedside table is charming for what it lacks: A tiny triangle is cut out from the drawer. Not only does it make a de facto drawer handle, the triangle adds to the contemporary, geometric design of SELJE.

SELJE bedside table is available in bright blue or crisp white and is made of steel with a powder coating. The drawer is also roomy enough for an extension cord, which can run through the back.

A bedside character VETTRE bedside table

With its slim, bowed legs on wheels and a hinged door, VETTRE bedside table balances the whimsical look of a skittish cartoon character with strong industrial influence. While keeping things clean on the outside, it’s designed to hide things away inside, especially charging cell phones, laptops and more.

VETTRE bedside table is made of steel that’s coated with a turquoise pigment. Its door can be hung with the opening to the left or right. Roomy enough for an extension socket, there’s even a pre-drilled hole in the bottom to run cords. And because it’s on castors, it’s easier to roll it closer in the middle of the night.

VETTRE is designed by Tina Christensen and Kai Legaard, who were inspired by trolleys dentists often use. “The bedside table has a lot of character and easily creates identity in a room,” they say. “It’s like it’s saying, ’Look at me!’ at same time as it wants to run away on its light feet.” Tina and Kai also designed other rustic industrial pieces already available at IKEA like the FJELL bedroom series and SIBBARED posters.

In turquoise metal, VETTRE bedside table may be small, but it’s big on character and organization.

Bathing beautiesULLABELLA metre fabrics

Dreaming of summer but not quite ready to squeeze into a bathing suit? Summon that summer feeling with the bathing beauties of the new, colourful ULLABELLA metre fabrics.

ULLABELLA metre fabrics are 150 cm wide, made of 100% cotton and machine-washable. The multi-colour metre fabric with images of beach cottages is a placed print, too, which makes it ideal for using as wall art.

Designer Karolina Palmér found inspiration for the patterns in memories of summers on Sweden’s west coast. “I like the ´50s bathing suit style when women wore bathing caps,” she says. “I want to paint pictures that spread happiness, and I use lots of colours and figures with expressive eyes.”

Creativity time MÅLA children’s arts and crafts series

The MÅLA series of art supplies for children now more strongly supports and encourages creativity with higher overall quality for brighter and more vibrant inspired creations. Child-friendly sizes, stronger tips, more colours, longer-lasting – these are the changes we’ve made to our felt-tip pens, stamp pens, tempera paint, water colours, paper and scissors to help big imaginations run wild.

Designers Sarah Fager and Camilla Tubertini went straight to kids to figure out how to make meaningful improvements to MÅLA. ”I started by doing research and studied the way children create – how they hold scissors, move a paintbrush across paper, what colours they like most and how they mix them,” Camilla says. “We wanted our art supplies to be inspiring for children to play with, both alone and together with siblings, friends or parents.”

But it’s not just children who know best, which is why we always work with experts in developing our children’s products. Because creativity isn’t about making a beautiful mess; it’s self-expression, imagination, development and learning for life.
