IKEA's Latest Collection Draws Inspirations from Sweden's Traditional Folklore; Offering Rich Characters for Minimalist Decor Enthusiasts

In the heart of rural Sweden, in the 1800s, life was lived in compact cabins with limited resources, a humble existence that has inspired the latest collection from IKEA - OMMJÄNGE. This collection, a testament to functional art, is the brainchild of designer Maria Vinka.

Maria Vinka, the creative mind behind the OMMJÄNGE collection, invites us to reconsider the conventional and slow down to appreciate the wisdom of the past. She believes that sometimes, the best way forward is to borrow a page from history. The collection offers a character-rich alternative to minimalism, drawing inspiration from modern folklore.

The OMMJÄNGE collection is more than just a collection; it's a reflection of how the modern home interacts with tradition and the current trend of personalised decor and nostalgic nods. Space-conscious design is central to the collection, celebrating simplicity and proving that folk art is not old-fashioned.

The collection is a veritable treasure trove of items, each with its unique charm. From candle holders and cookware to woven rugs, embroidered throw pillows, and pendant lights, there's something for every corner of your home. The storage bench, featuring a traditional pattern with a colourful modern twist, is available in red and pink or yellow colorways.

For those seeking a practical yet decorative addition, the wall hooks are an ideal choice, suitable for a mud room or kids' room. IKEA also offers a water jug and a serving bowl in amber glass, adding a touch of rustic elegance to your dining table.

One standout piece is the wall cabinet, a work of art in its own right with its graphic doors and pink and orange colorway. A rattan wavy basket, an instant must-have, is perfect for holding throw pillows, magazines, or firewood.
