Inspired by nature and the self-care rituals of Nordic sauna culture, the BASTUA collection combines IKEA home furnishing knowledge with Marimekko’s iconic print design in products for wellbeing inside and outside the home, made from simple, natural materials. It’s a collaboration with a truly Nordic spirit, offering a shared opportunity to live boldly, joyfully and well. What’s more, this is the first time that Marimekko has ever designed patterns especially for a collaboration.

PP plastic (polypropylene) is flexible, strong and a very common plastic material in a home. We use it for items like food packaging, storage boxes, toys and rugs. Today it’s possible to make PP plastic from renewable raw materials, but it’s still mostly made from fossil raw materials like oil or natural gas. At IKEA, we’re gradually switching to recycled polypropylene and it’s an important step towards our goal of only using plastic that’s recycled or from renewable sources.
