"The TESAMMANS collection is our invitation to experience and bring colour into your home in various ways. We played a lot with the ability of colours to transform objects and mixed bright, saturated shades with more muted ones and then applied them to different materials. A colour needs company, and it’s only by interacting with users, objects and other colours that it comes into its own. We hope the collection adds a positive feel and colour to people's lives and homes."

When creating the TESAMMANS collection, we collaborated with the colour experts and design duo Raw Color which comprises of designers Daniera ter Haar and Christoph Brach. Together we explored the emotional aspects of colour and how colour interactions can be created in a myriad of materials and functions. The result is a colourful collection that goes beyond the expected and elevates simple shapes through playful and sophisticated colour combinations.

Ceramic is a heat-resistant and durable material that has been used by humans to make practical objects for thousands of years. The base material is different types of clay that are oven-burned and become things like terracotta, stoneware, pottery and porcelain. At IKEA we mainly use ceramic for plant pots, porcelain, washbasins and kitchen sinks. Since it can be shaped and even glazed to the desired colour and shine, the possibilities of styles and looks are endless.
