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.

Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
