Live boldly, joyfully and well with the BASTUA collection

A limited collection designed in collaboration with Finnish design house Marimekko, BASTUA is inspired by nature and the self-care rituals of the Nordic sauna. The furniture, glassware and textiles with vibrant prints encapsulate the simple and aesthetic beauty of Nordic nature.

    Dreamy patterns inspired by the Nordic sauna

    These bold and colourful kimonos’ designs feature rhubarbs that sometimes grow next to sauna huts in Finland, and graphic yet relaxed stripes reminiscent of the slats that playfully lie side-by-side on sauna benches.

    Like little jewels on your dining table

    The collection includes exquisite glasses, bowls and jugs inspired by carved logs and sun-dappled water ripples. IKEA designer Henrik Preutz imagined a sauna by a lake – where the wind rippled the surface while reflecting the midnight sun in the crystal-clear water.

    With a Scandinavian summer evening by a crystal-clear lake in mind, I created the BASTUA glass. Light refracts in the irregular facet pattern.

    Simple design that brings calm

    “Nordic furniture design has always been characterised by clean lines and simple constructions that focus on function,” IKEA designer Mikael Axelsson shares. The furniture in the collection is a nod to this heritage with its solid birch material and simple, yet functional design.

    Add a dreamy glow to your indoor space with the BASTUA LED lantern. The combination of light birch, rice paper and its soft, diffused light creates a minimalistic, serene atmosphere to get your relaxation ritual started.

    Delightful on-the-go items for everyday adventures

    Our iconic and super handy FRAKTA carrier bag gets a bold remix with colourful patterns, including one with larger-than-life rhubarb leaves. Meanwhile, the pattern on the water bottle is inspired by löyly – the flower-like abstract shapes that steam creates when water is thrown on a hot sauna stove.

    You can have a piece of Nordic happiness with you, even without a sauna.
