How to get it
Toys and soft toy animals everywhere? Here is some spacious storage that swallows up quite a lot and makes it easy for your child to tidy away their things after playtime – and quickly find them again.
Product details
A smart and simple storage that swallows up the children's toys and soft toy animals – and makes it easy to tidy up in a flash, especially if you do it together.
The top of the frame make the storage simple to carry and move to another room. After all, children want to be where you are.
If you want to create a calm impression, you can place the storage in a corner with the covered sides facing outwards.
The round holes in two of the sides make it easy to tuck away and quickly reach the favourite things, while the mesh fabric prevents them from falling out.
It is easy to see the contents through the mesh fabric.
The pocket on the outer side is perfect for small treasures or drawings
Sturdy and safe storage with rounded corners, and without sharp edges.
The fabric is made of polyester, of which at least 90% is recycled – a durable material which is tested, approved and free from harmful substances and additives.
The mesh fabric can be removed and washed.
Created in collaboration with children in playful sessions where they express their thoughts and ideas. Their opinions influence our decisions and make our products better. After all, they’re the experts.

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.”

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.

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!
