Swedish minimalist home furniture store Ikea has teamed up with their fellow European friends, Marimekko, a Finnish brand, for a green and comfortable collaboration, ‘Bastua’.
 
“This pattern for the Bastua collection is inspired by the large, decorative rhubarb leaves that sometimes grow next to sauna buildings in Finland,” says Maija Louekari, designer of Marimekko.
 
The collaboration is bringing a total 29 items (which will sell out fast) including kimono bathrobes (B1,290), shower curtains (B399), bags in three pattern designs (B99-149), and kitchenware like the clear glass jug and water glass (B149) and stainless steel water bottles (B299).
 
Ikea should also be getting a lot closer for downtown dwellers, as the Swedish furniture giant announced last year that their next store will be set at Emsphere—the long under construction mega mall project taking shape next to the Emporium shopping mall by BTS Phrom Phong.
 
The ‘Bastua’ collection will be available at all Thailand Ikea stores from Mar 24 and the online store from Mar 25.
