Over the years, IVAR has been updated with a number of accessories that customize how you can use the storage. But something was missing. ”When we performed new studies in homes around the world, we saw how some form of closed storage was needed for things like light bulbs, batteries, paint cans and cleaning items”, says Karin. ”A lockable cabinet which is durable and easy to keep clean.”
Since IVAR storage system is so good at what it does, it has faithfully served customers’ needs across the home for over 50 years. Attics, living rooms, pantries and bedrooms – they all love IVAR.

Great shoe storage solutionAnonymous reviewerEasy to put together. Magnet closing works well. Perfect to store shoes in, in our porch. Really like the mesh front to help with ventilation.
ExcellentAnonymous reviewerEasy to build. High quality. Beautiful design and colour.
Beautiful cabinet!Anonymous reviewerI have two of these in Ivar wooden frames. I love the contrast of the wood with the white metal and I love the soft sheen texture. I put them together with the help of a fantastic video on YouTube which is 12.47 minutes long, 'Ikea Basics - Ivar Cabinet', much easier than trying to follow the written instructions. I've had one of these cabinets a few months now. They both went together very easily, everything lined up perfectly, a really brilliant design I think. The only thing that would make this cabinet even better, would be if it were possible to buy extra shelves. I bought two sets of fittings off ebay to hold the shelves and cut an extra shelf out of wood for each cabinet.
Very attractive extra storage forAnonymous reviewerVery attractive extra storage for kitchen and utility room
Great CabinetAnonymous reviewerBought this cabinet to store car cleaning products in the garage. Very easy to assemble, it has a lockable doors which work well and the internal shelf can be adjusted to suit. Very pleased and looks very smart in place., thoroughly recommended.
Rubbish Locking MechanismAnonymous reviewerThe cabinet would be great if it locked properly.
CabinetAnonymous reviewerVery pleased with the cabinet. Can I suggest that the key and lock should be more sturdy.
Lack of shelving options internallyAnonymous reviewerThe product is attractive enough externally to look at, however its functionality lets it down; it would have been useful if further shelving could have been purchased so as to create a more usable space inside. We investigated purchasing some from IKEA but was told that it was not possible. As such a disappointing product, I would probably not have bought it if I had known of these issues
Great fitAnonymous reviewerlook great in simple old cottage with very low ceilings; just got in by fitting top when upright. Small room demanded sliding doors; these look really good being a simple style and made of real wood. Really happy with these.

Story
Lively old-timer solves new storage needs
When it comes to home furnishing, trends come and go. But some basic needs remain. One of these is the need to store things. Ever since it was introduced in the 1960s, IVAR storage system has helped people with this, contributing to orderliness in homes all over the world. But our studies showed that IVAR was missing one thing: a lockable storage. Conveniently enough, the solution was right under our noses.
Our product developer Karin Blindh Pedersen knows what people appreciate about IVAR. ”It’s a flexible piece of furniture and sort of like a blank canvas that you adapt as you like. And it’s durable and robust – if the wood gets scratched, you just grind it over”, says Karin.
A cabinet for new needs
Smart product development
Sometimes the solution is closer than you think. Everything needed was already in the range. Of course JOSEF metal cabinet and the lock in HURDAL linen cabinet were adjusted a little for new purposes, but there are many benefits by starting with well-known products. ”This benefits our customers when it comes to both quality and price,” explains Karin. “We know the designs work and we have good suppliers. This way we also save time and money in product development.”
New look for a timeless workhorse
The metal cabinet not only provides new functionality but also gives IVAR a new and slender industrial look. The timeless workhorse continues to deliver smart storage in homes across the world. Who knows what new needs IVAR will solve 50 years from now?
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
