The art of making art affordable: the KONSTRUNDA collection
The KONSTRUNDA collection was born from the guiding words: `liberated, happy, and fearless´. With that phrase ringing in our ears we set off to gather the right team for the job. A team that wouldn’t only be brave and bold but humble enough to appreciate the fact that everything that comes out of IKEA needs to be accessible and affordable. With KONSTRUNDA, we want to add a fresh take on what art can be and what it can do for the world we live in. Did we succeed? You be the judge.
