Starting in October, IKEA U.S. stores will roll out a new, limited-edition collection. VÄRMER consists of holiday-inspired homeware and winter accessories to make loved ones feel even more at home. It will include beautiful, timeless and functional pieces of furniture and décor designed for all kinds of celebrations, but above all, for being together.
A Holiday Collection with a Story
IKEA invited two designer families, from two different parts of the world, to create VÄRMER. “We were curious to see what we have in common and what separates the way we spend the winter holiday season in Kenya and Sweden,” says Mette Nissen, Creative Leader IKEA. “It turned out that it doesn’t matter whether you live in the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere. We do pretty much the same things. We eat, we play games, we hang out together.”
Using their own families and everyday life as starting points for their designs, VÄRMER is a truly personal collection. Products designed by Naeem Biviji and Bethan Rayner (Studio Propolis) in Kenya include:
- VÄRMER Candlestick/tealight holders ($39.92/8pk)
- VÄRMER Board game table ($59.99)
- VÄRMER Chair ($99)
Products designed by Sarah Fager and Jens Fager in Sweden include:
- VÄRMER Pouffe ($79)
- VÄRMER Basket ($39.99)
- VÄRMER Bench ($99)
