Anything but old-fashioned
HIMNA is one piece of furniture, just like the TV Grandma use to have. The difference? A 40-inch screen, smartphone connectivity, built-in DVD player and sound system. And with just one remote to control it all, it’s Grandma-friendly, too.
A TV that goes with everything – and every style
Simply smart solutions
Wireless subwoofer
The wireless subwoofer lets you create a surround sound experience right in your living room – without having extra wires to trip over or hide.
One single remote control
No more remote controls cluttering up your coffee table! And no more mix-ups when trying to find the right one for each gadget. UPPLEVA has one single remote control for everything: watching TV, playing a DVD or Blu-ray, or listening to music.
HDMI and USB
It’s easy to connect your other home electronics if you want, like game consoles or extra speakers. UPPLEVA has four HDMI ports and two USB ports, on screen sizes 32” and up (for the smaller one it’s two HDMI and one USB). And of course there’s a slot for your digital TV card, as well.
Smart TV
With Smart TV you can surf the Internet directly on your UPPLEVA. Everything from video-on-demand and Youtube, to social media and news services. Showing content from your computer is easy too, over your wireless network, all you need is a WiFi adapter or using a USB memory.
Blu-ray, DVD and CD player
All formats in one single player, integrated in the sound system. Another way of saving space you can use for other things. (Like storing even more DVDs.)
Goodbye tangle!
Since everything is integrated into one single system, all cables and cords are made to fit together. They’re easy to hide in the furniture, thanks to smart cable management and customised storage spaces.
RIGHT NOW AT IKEA
A modern take on Swedish tradition
When childhood memories are transformed into textile patterns
After living in Japan for five years and Italy for 13, Sweden and Swedishness are more important than ever for designer Eva Lundgreen. That’s why working with ÅKERKULLA textile collection was very sentimental. A longing for her homeland combined with nostalgic memories of spending summers on her grandparent’s farm when she was a child. Now she captured it all on a quilt cover, cushions and rugs.
Swedish folk art patterns and folklore are close to Eva Lundgreen’s heart. So when she was asked to design a textile collection based on old Swedish folk culture, Eva shouted for joy inside. Maybe it was because she was in the middle of Tokyo at the time, a world that is very far from the farm in northern Sweden where she spent her summers as a child. It was just the memories and feelings from those summers that determined the colours and designs on the ÅKERKULLA textile collection.
Eva browsed through old books of crochet patterns and looked at lots of old photos, but it was medallion wallpaper, floral porcelain and her grandmother’s heavy silk quilt that inspired her the most.
“I loved country life on the farm – and in my memory, it’s glorified and nostalgic. I remember large strawberry fields and potato and carrot crops, all the animals on the farm and the memory of riding in a hay cart,” says Eva with a tinge of nostalgia in her voice.
It was actually during a trip to Malaysia at Christmas time that the memories came back to her – and the ideas started to roll. In that relaxing environment, inspiration flourished and Eva sketched and painted several patterns that she then collected in a little folder with her basic ideas for the collection. A folder that she would later send to IKEA in Sweden.
“I had thought a lot about the foundation that I wanted to base the collection on. There’s an underlying Swedish tone in everything I do, where there’s room for cheerfulness and playfulness in the midst of the somewhat strict,” says Eva. That really went home with IKEA. Nearly all of Eva’s initial sketches were used to create the ÅKERKULLA textile collection. Here you can find florals in all forms. On a panel curtain, a quilt cover, cushions, rugs and metre fabrics. Just like in Eva’s grandparent’s home.
Designer thought Eva Lundgreen:“In my work with the ÅKERKULLA textile collection I was inspired by old Swedish country weddings, unmatched textiles, delicate summer flowers etc. Memories of the old wreaths and medallions on the wallpaper in my grandparent’s wooden house were with me when I painted and worked on the patterns. So were the heavy silk quilts and my grandmother’s fine breakfast porcelain. It became a collection filled with all different types of florals.
