More playful storage
With TIGERFINK, we wanted to create smart and simple storage that can swallow the children’s stuffed animals and toys. So they can find their favourite things fast and easy – and stow everything away when it’s time to call it a night and go to bed. But, TIGERFINK became more than that.
Storage. A small word that means a lot in most homes – and for us at Children’s IKEA. “We have many good storage solutions in the range,” says designer Johanna Jelinek. “But, we saw a need to add something lighter and more flexible.”
Storage that moves with the play
Already from the start, Johanna and her colleagues thought about using textiles. “We wanted to move away from the most common types of storage, like hard boxes, and create something that’s easy to bring between different rooms. You can take off the mesh fabric and wash it, and it feels soft and nice.” The round holes on the sides make it easy to reach your favourite toys. And if you put TIGERFINK in a corner, with the covered sides facing the room, you can hardly see what’s inside. “I think many parents can agree it’s nice to not have to see all the toys all the time.”
A bed for soft friends
When TIGERFINK had passed the safety tests, the team invited a group of children to Kid’s Lab to make sure it worked the way they had imagined. “Children are amazing; they immediately put in and picked out toys from TIGERFINK and began playing on the flat surface on the top. Just like we had hoped.” But new ideas came up as well, things that Johanna and her colleagues hadn’t thought of. ”One boy used the three different storage levels as a bunk bed for the soft toys. And that’s of course also a way to use TIGERFINK.”
Function solution
More playful storage
TIGERFINK is smart and simple storage that can swallow the children’s stuffed animals and toys and is easy to move around. So they can find their favourite things fast and easy – and stow everything away when it’s time to call it a night and go to bed. But TIGERFINK actually became more than that. When we invited children to test the storage, they made it a part of the fun and games – and turned it into a bunk bed for the soft toys.
Form design process
Created together with children
Children are the most important people in the world and we’re curious to hear what they have to say since we create products for them! Therefore, we invite children to creative and playful sessions where they get to participate in our product development. Here they can express themselves freely and draw, show or tell us what is important to them. Their opinions matter and make our products better. After all, they’re the experts!
