For this upcoming collection, Marimekko and Ikea are teaming up to create objects that inspire “moments of joy and relaxation in everyday life”.

The range will feature products that are full of happy contradictions between hot and cold, simple and bold, playful and calm – and it will also mark the first time Marimekko has designed a set of prints exclusively for a collection with a partnering brand.

“We are looking into our Nordic design heritage and a fundamental part of our wellbeing culture,” said said Most.

“By combining Marimekko’s long history of making iconic prints and Ikea’s home furnishing knowledge, we want to spread the elements of this culture to help improve and bring joy to the everyday life of many people.”
