Freelance designer Ehlén Johansson is an important part of our DNA. In the Nytillverkad collection, her OPTIMUM vases from the 1995 catalogue are now available in new colours with the name SKOGSTUNDRA.
Part of the Nytillverkad collection where several IKEA classics have been given a new look.
Designed by Ehlén Johansson, the predecessors to SKOGSTUNDRA vases were first shown in the 1995 catalogue with the name OPTIMUM.
For the relaunch, we’ve taken the opportunity to update the material from flintware to glazed stoneware, changed the opening of the low vase to a smooth ring and renewed the colours.
