We've seen from our global home visits that most bathrooms are cluttered, shared and improvised. They're spaces—usually small ones—to get ready during hectic mornings and destress at night. When we started working on VOXNAN and BROGRUND bathroom accessories, our team did something a bit different and held a workshop. Together, they came up with the theme of a bathroom being 'chaos and harmony' and used it to create products that make bathroom life a bit easier for everyone.

The bathroom is a vital part of the home, but it is often small, cluttered and improvised. So when starting working on VOXNAN and BROGRUND bathroom accessories, our aim was to help make bathroom life easier. We did something a bit different and held a workshop with IKEA co-workers. For an entire day, they examined people’s frustrations and dreams, including their own. Then our designers came up with solutions and products that can help turn bathroom chaos into harmony.

PET plastic is perhaps best known for its use in beverage bottles, yet suits a lot of food and beverage packaging since it’s approved for food contact. Like other plastics, PET is largely made from oil-based raw materials, but today there are even better opportunities to use both renewable raw materials, like corn and sugar cane, and to recycle the plastic several times. At IKEA, recycled PET becomes many things – from storage boxes to soft filling in pillows and quilts.
