“With the SANDLÖPARE collection, I wanted to create an exciting, colourful world where children decide the play and stories by using their imagination and spontaneity, instead of being served something ready-made. Hide and seek was a starting point, so some design details are deliberately hidden and there is always more to discover, explore and interact with. Children are not just spectators – they’re explorers and heroes on their own savannah adventure.”

IKEA collaborates with Nordens Ark, a non-profit foundation that focuses on nature conservation, conservation breeding and release, research and education. The collaboration has given us a deeper understanding of the efforts required to protect wild animals. We support the foundation by spreading knowledge about endangered species to children and adults. Together with Nordens Ark, we continue to develop products that evoke curiosity about our planet and its amazing nature and wildlife.

Cotton/viscose duvet covers offer a harmonious balance between comfort and durability. The soft cotton is a natural fibre that breathes and absorbs moisture, while viscose, made from wood pulp, is silky-smooth, dries quickly and has a nice lustre. Together they create a durable and easy-care duvet cover that regulates body temperature naturally and keeps your child comfortably dry and cool all night long. Made for sweet dreams.

The SANDLÖPARE collection lets us explore the open plains of the African savannah while getting to know some of the fascinating animals that live here. Through colourful and detailed illustrations by Anna Lagerström, the savannah comes to life on bed textiles, storage and accessories. With lifelike soft toys and educational materials, the stories of the animals can become the starting point for a new game or a new discovery.
