Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.

"I had the idea to design a functional metal cabinet for a long time. Many of my friends had dragged home those regular metal lockers they have in gyms and concluded that they weren't very practical. When I got the chance to do a prototype, it felt like my idea held. It's true that I had to work hard to convince the people around me that IKEA PS metal cabinet really could sell - especially since I thought it should be red too. Now I can just proudly conclude that I was right!"
