For an entire day, they examined people’s frustrations and dreams, including their own. One of the participants was Luca Battistelli who has been with IKEA since 1992. ”I’m not a product development expert,” Luca says, “but you bring your own experience. Some things can be very specific to a person or country, but it’s easier to find things in common than things that are very different.”

Reviews
Neat and tidy..Anonymous reviewerFits onto the wall neatly leaving a space below for easy floor cleaning . Looks nice and clean with smooth surface. Looks more expensive than it is.
GoodAnonymous reviewerI give this review 4 instead of 5, because the instructions to assemble it was not very clear and because of that the toilet brush was not steady after I assembled it. However, it is very beautiful in appearance and good value for money.
Rusty in no timeAnonymous reviewerThis product is disappointing. The stainless steel is of very poor quality, and it started rusting within just a few weeks. I absolutely do not recommend it and will not be purchasing it again.
EasyAnonymous reviewerI have purchased this item twice now - easy to set up, easy to install and easy to clean. I like that it has the option to be off the floor as this aids floor cleaning. Well described on line and depicted well.
Excellent buyAnonymous reviewerThis toilet brush and holder is well-made and smart-looking. Well worth buying.
PerfectAnonymous reviewerLooks good in my tiny en-suite - but no wall fittings in the pack
goodAnonymous reviewergood
excellentAnonymous reviewermuch too nice to use
Stainless steel? I don't think so.Anonymous reviewerAs other reviewers have noted, these are *not* stainless steel - they rust after a few weeks of normal use. I feel cheated by Ikea.
Rusted bowl and brush after 1 yearAnonymous reviewerThe bowl and brush rusted after 1 year - to clean the rust off I'd have to use an abrasive cleaner, which would make the bowl and brush more susceptible to rust. So it has to be binned. Not good for the environment. A product that is meant to be used with regularly with water and may be left damp (people do not dry a toilet brush after use!) should not be susceptible to rust, in my opinion.
Leaking & RustingAnonymous reviewerThe brush has had less than 6 months use and it has not only split on the inside seam, the unit has started to rust and has stained the brush.
Excellent productAnonymous reviewerGreat to mount on wall for my disabled parents and myself with back problems.
Toilet brushAnonymous reviewerNot as stable as expected.
Bogrund toilet brushAnonymous reviewerPerfectly suited for bathroom, fits in with decor and does what it is designed for- cleaning the loo.
Perfect sizeAnonymous reviewerHandle much better than previous design, secure screw fit for replaceable brush. Simple but looks good.
Anonymous reviewerThe Base is sturdy the brush is quite firm hence my reason for giving it 4 stars It cleans the Toilet bowl very goid
Silver loo brushAnonymous reviewerGreat product , very good value for money and does what says on the tin

Story
Harmony in the bathroom, one detail at a time
The bathroom is a vital part of the home, but it is often small, cluttered and improvised. Okan Demirci, one of our product developers, knows this first-hand. So when starting working on VOXNAN and BROGRUND bathroom accessories, his aim was to help make bathroom life a little easier. The difficult part was to find common needs among different people. That’s where Okan’s many colleagues came in handy.
Several of them were invited to a workshop. They all had different homes and life situations. Some were Swedes who lived in houses in the woods. Others were from Italy and France. Some lived alone, and others with a partner or children.
Working together to find common bathroom needs
Designing little details that make life better
Two designers worked together to solve the challenges identified in the workshop. Take the clutter from lack of space to hang things. Our towel holders already save space with swiveling bars, but they added bars that extend for more tidiness. And what about shared bathrooms? VOXNAN and BROGRUND have styles you can mix and match so everyone’s happy. The accessories have identical wall brackets, too, so if your style or needs change, you can easily swap things without making new holes. ”It’s not a revolution,” Okan says. “It’s just the little details that can help people turn their bathroom chaos into harmony.”
Material
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
Form design process
Adding a little harmony to the bathroom, one detail at a time
We've seen from our global home visits that most bathrooms are cluttered, shared and improvised. They're spaces—usually small ones—to get ready during hectic mornings and destress at night. When we started working on VOXNAN and BROGRUND bathroom accessories, our team did something a bit different and held a workshop. Together, they came up with the theme of a bathroom being 'chaos and harmony' and used it to create products that make bathroom life a bit easier for everyone.
