New Limited IKEA Collection: What's Interesting About It?
On May 16th, the new OVERRALLT collection by IKEA will be launched in stores, combining Scandinavian and African aesthetics. In partnership with ten artists and designers from five African countries, IKEA explored modern African traditions. We're highlighting the most interesting items that impressed us.
Chair Made from Unfinished Plywood
Created by Issa Diabate, a designer and architect from Côte d'Ivoire, this chair can be assembled or disassembled without nails or glue. Additionally, plywood is an affordable and eco-friendly material that everyone can afford.
Noodle-free Rugs
Inspired by traditional African motifs, designer Ladhuma Ngxokolo from South Africa created lightweight rugs with a large geometric pattern.
Shopping Bags
Founded by Reform Studio's Hend Riad and Mariam Hazem, these bags were made using shiny strips of fibrous material obtained from... production waste — chip packaging.
Cookware
To make dining not only stylish but also cozy at home, designers Béthanie Rainer and Naïm Bividji created tableware with a unique design.
Woven Baskets
Selly Rabie Kane, a fashion designer and artist from Senegal, focused on the style of African women. She created a basket resembling the pattern of woven braids.
