If you’re addicted to IKEA’s signature contemporary, modern look, then you’re going to love the VIKTIGT collection. This latest collection is much more in line with IKEA’s usual aesthetic, but with a handmade touch that makes it feel extra special. The entire collab was designed by Ingegerd Råman – one of Scandinavia’s most famous ceramic and glass designers. You’ll find everything here from glassware to ceramic and natural fibers like bamboo and rattan. The bad news is that everything available in May is limited edition, but the good news is that the collection’s basics are practically perfect for IKEA hacking. See below for a few of our faves.
