How can I apply for permission to use IKEA copyright images/films?

We grant permission for educational and training purposes, and for deserving causes.

We tend to grant permission for 1) educational and training purposes (i.e. course literature) and 2) deserving causes.

Material that does not fit under either of these categories is assessed on a case by case basis since we want to know the context in which the material will be used. We also tend to allow photographers to use their own photos for their own catalogues/books provided they do not use the IKEA trademark.

If you want to apply for such permission, please let us know.
