Story
Shared knowledge creates innovations
ENHET is the first storage series that our kitchen and bathroom specialists developed together. But if you think about it, it's a pretty logical collaboration. Both kitchens and bathrooms need work spaces, storage solutions and organisation – and need to withstand daily wear and tear in a humid environment. We also know that they are areas that many people find difficult and time-consuming to both plan and assemble. That’s what we set out to change.
One goal with ENHET was that all parts should be easy to assemble – intuitively and without any special tools. For cabinets and drawers it was a given to use the wooden wedge dowel which started to replace classic fittings in the IKEA range a few years ago.
Easy assembly with “Grisen”
But a new innovation was needed for the open storage in metal frames. That’s how "Grisen" ("Pig" in Swedish) came to be – a metal wedge dowel that allows you to easily assemble the frames with just a click. "It actually looks like the snout of a little piglet, so the nickname felt like a natural choice", says product developer Daniel Loader, who took part in the project.
Reliable steel
One challenge with the metal frames was that the steel must withstand the humid environments of kitchens and bathrooms – without rusting. “We found a method in the automotive industry called AD coating”, says Daniel and describes how all the frame parts are dipped in the coating. “After we saw the lab test photos, it was clear that we had the right solution. They showed rust on parts with other coatings, while those with the AD coating were rust-free.” Looking back at the project, Daniel thinks it provided important insights. “Something happens when you bring together a lot of people with different experiences, and strong and innovative momentum can arise."

Small scale, big makeover
Welcome to the fifth makeover in this season of "Home idea with IKEA"! They say it's best to prepare for winter in summer, but this time, it will be the other way round – awaiting the makeover in the middle of winter, there is a miniature summerhouse. This summer residence belongs to a small family of three. A spontaneous purchase at first, this has become a favourite spot in summer. Hosts Ildze and Kaspars like their "dwarf house" a lot but they feel the lack of ideas as for how to make the interior more functional and beautiful. This is where the IKEA Interior Designers should step in.
Personal yet business-like: a fresh interior for a dynamic enterprise
When you believe in what you do, there is nothing that is not possible. Seven years ago, Elīna had a dream. Her dream was to make fresh, seasonal and local products available for those busy city-dwellers. For those, who do not have the time to find the wonderful hidden gems of our countryside. And so svaigi.lv was born. Elīna has always wanted the interior of her business to show its personality, but there was always something in the way. Now, as her business turns seven years old, she has decided that the time is ripe for change. Will IKEA Interior Designer Linda manage to catch the vibe of this business?
