Reviews

Vanity unit storageAnonymous reviewerGood to replace shoe boxes with lovely bamboo!4
Perfectly useableAnonymous reviewerMums review: perfectly useable for what I wanted4
Lovely elegant bambooAnonymous reviewerThese small trays are beautiful, made from a natural product with a good colour and texture. Some bamboo products are a bit expensive, but these are OK and will find lots of uses.5
Drawer organisationAnonymous reviewerMy top drawer is now looking so much better!4
Handy boxesAnonymous reviewerThese are very nice. A good size and well made. I use it for desk equipment. They sit well one on top of the other.5
Useful and sustainableAnonymous reviewerThese bamboo boxes are so practical - i use some in the bathroom to keep toiletries and bottles of nail polish tidy, and my husband uses the small one for spare change. The finish is smart and modern, and the colour of the bamboo is a good match for golden oak furniture - but much more sustainable.5
Tactile storageAnonymous reviewerLook smart and like the way the smaller box sits within the larger one if needed.5
Story

Shared knowledge creates innovations

ENHET is the first storage series that our kitchen and bathroom specialists developed together. But if you think about it, it's a pretty logical collaboration. Both kitchens and bathrooms need work spaces, storage solutions and organisation – and need to withstand daily wear and tear in a humid environment. We also know that they are areas that many people find difficult and time-consuming to both plan and assemble. That’s what we set out to change.

One goal with ENHET was that all parts should be easy to assemble – intuitively and without any special tools. For cabinets and drawers it was a given to use the wooden wedge dowel which started to replace classic fittings in the IKEA range a few years ago.

Easy assembly with “Grisen”

But a new innovation was needed for the open storage in metal frames. That’s how "Grisen" ("Pig" in Swedish) came to be – a metal wedge dowel that allows you to easily assemble the frames with just a click. "It actually looks like the snout of a little piglet, so the nickname felt like a natural choice", says product developer Daniel Loader, who took part in the project.

Reliable steel

One challenge with the metal frames was that the steel must withstand the humid environments of kitchens and bathrooms – without rusting. “We found a method in the automotive industry called AD coating”, says Daniel and describes how all the frame parts are dipped in the coating. “After we saw the lab test photos, it was clear that we had the right solution. They showed rust on parts with other coatings, while those with the AD coating were rust-free.” Looking back at the project, Daniel thinks it provided important insights. “Something happens when you bring together a lot of people with different experiences, and strong and innovative momentum can arise."

Material

What is bamboo?

Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants – bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. It’s a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps – and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
