There are times when we all need a bit of extra comfort and support. With the OMTÄNKSAM range, IKEA wants to make everyday life easier for everyone – and for every body. Big and small, all OMTÄNKSAM products are designed with our different human needs in focus. Experience an armchair that it’s easy to get in and out of, tables with plenty of leg room, vases that are equally beautiful and easy to handle, plus lots more – all made in close collaboration with ergonomics experts and tested by real people, with different needs. Welcome to try out the products and their great features!

"Our starting point was to create vases that make flowers thrive. That’s why we decided on shapes that give foliage and stems the room and support they need. OMTÄNKSAM vases are also easy to lift, carry and wash. You can use them separately or combine several. We hope that the vases will make you and your flowers feel good – every day."

Sometime we all need a little more help around the home. It might be a more supportive chair while we're pregnant, or daily assistance due to the natural effect of aging. To help design the new OMTÄNKSAM range, creative leader Britt Monti used ergonomic research from the care industry to help create products she says, "We hope you'll be proud to have in your home from a style perspective. The only difference is that they're more user friendly and supportive."

Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.
