3 new buys celebrate rattan’s natural beauty
Design using sustainably sourced, renewable natural materials is a trend for now – and the future. Three IKEA designers have created a trio of new pieces that bring the natural expression of classic rattan to life, with a modern twist.
Bring home the feel-good factor
Designers Andreas Fredriksson, Jonas Hultqvist and Willy Chong have created two chairs and a footstool that make the most of rattan’s unique qualities. “We’ve used the material in innovative ways, like combining it with metal frames on the ULRIKSBERG armchair, to create an airy feel. The chair also comes in flat packages, which is better for the environment and easier to take home and enjoy.”
We like working with natural fibres – living and renewable materials that provide great opportunities to create unique products.
Handcrafted design
The new BUSKBO armchair is the result of combining old traditions and modern design. Rattan is first boiled and sun-dried, then formed into different shapes by expert weavers. “We wouldn’t be able to make authentic rattan products without them. They have skills that can’t be copied by machines,” says Andreas.
Created in collaboration with experienced artisans, these three new rattan pieces are a chance to bring nature indoors and enjoy the feeling of handcrafted materials.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
