Product details
Shuts out curious eyes and dampens sound since the divider is made of a sound-absorbing material.
You can fold out all 3 sides or only 2, for example if you want light from one side.
It has small compartments and elastic straps where your child can store desk accessories and put up their schedule or favourite pictures to make the divider more personal.
The divider helps a child manage their workspace, which makes it easier to focus and work independently.
In the middle of the top row there is a pocket for a mobile phone – perfect for distance learning or if you want to chat to a school friend.
The ÖVNING collection comprises of smart and flexible tools that simplify learning in a fun way and help the child get started, keep their energy up and easily change workspaces.
IKEA supports children's right to education and an active life filled with play. By learning from children and experts, we know that a mix of study, play and movement is ideal for good school results.

Get the homework started
Sometimes it can be hard to find a quiet nook and get started with the homework. With the ÖVNING series, we wanted to develop smart tools so your child can more easily find peace and quiet. In the room as well as in body and mind.
“When we do home visits and interview children around the world, we see that not all have the same need when they do their homework. Some work best at a desk, while others rather move around or spread out on the floor,” tells Anna Carme, who works with the range in Children’s IKEA. “That’s why quite some flexibility is needed around the homework, and that insight helped us develop ÖVNING.”
Room for lively legs
Still, most children have one thing in common – they can’t sit still for long. “Children’s bodies are full of kinetic energy that needs to be released. Science also shows that the learning benefits from physical activity. No matter if it’s wild play before the homework or moving the body while you study,” says Anna and explains how it inspired to create the footrest in the series. “You can rock it back and forth with the feet and use it as support to sit more ergonomically.”
Have fun and find focus
To have your own place of study is important but it doesn’t have to be at a desk. With the desk divider and the desk accessories organizer in the ÖVNING series, it becomes easier to create an own private space that you can take with you to the dining table or the sofa – and personalize with pictures and fun things. “To have fun and move around regularly is often confused with distraction and lack of concentration. We think it’s the opposite. When the study time is flexible and feels fun, it helps the child to focus. It simply works as a reward and a positive spiral.”
