Say 'Hej!' to iconic IKEA designs
They’ve been sat on, slept in and styled around the world. Discover iconic designs that have become crowd favourites and helped create a better everyday life.
Great design for everyone
At IKEA, we believe good design should be for the many. That’s why we create products that balance quality, function, form, sustainability and price. We call it Democratic Design, our way of making everyday life better.
Like the FLISAT children’s desk: it's height adjustable, durable and made from renewable wood. It’s built to grow with your child and priced so more families can enjoy it. That’s the kind of design we’re excited to bring to New Zealand.

Flatpacks and big ideas
IKEA didn’t invent flatpacks but we took the flatness to a whole new level. Since the 1950s, flatpacks have helped us rethink how furniture is made, moved and enjoyed. They make it easier to take home, reduce packaging and transport and help keep prices low.
Packed with possibilities
