Making everyday life safer and better, for the little ones

UNESCO proclaimed 1979 as the International Year of the Child, and in the same year IKEA launched a new child safety programme under the name PATRULL. It was a series of products that would make life at home safer for children. PATRULL was about preventing everything from scratches and bruises to more serious accidents.

In the 1990s, a stool was developed by designers Knut Hagberg and Marianne Hagberg, alongside experts in plastics at IKEA. The stool entered the IKEA range in March 1998 and was named PATRULL. It was stabler and more durable than the previous stools, and the integrated anti-slip dots and feet prevented the stool from moving on the floor, and the child from slipping. The PATRULL stool was awarded Excellent Swedish Design in 1998, and premiered in the 2000 IKEA catalogue. Now, the updated version is still being sold, under the name BOLMEN.

Something to make homework more fun

With its forward-facing ‘ears’, the KRUX lamp looks like a curious creature, lighting up the children’s room with a perfect light for drawing or building. Both the arm and the head can be adjusted, and the wall lamp version also has a built-in dimmer. KRUX was given its playful design by designer Monika Mulder.

A lamp for the children’s room must, of course, be designed with the highest level of child safety. KRUX has undergone some of the world’s toughest safety tests. The lamps have built-in LED light sources and no sharp edges, small parts, openings or hooks.

An image of life under the sea, from a child’s eyes

In the Kids Lab, adults in design and development related roles at IKEA get the chance to show and discuss prototypes with different groups of small experts for invaluable feedback. At an even earlier stage, bringing kids into the process involves asking a designated panel of experts aged 8 to 14 to share their thoughts on things, big and small.

Like what their favourite ocean animals are, what concerns they may have for them, and what stories they imagine around them. Which ultimately inspired the direction of the ocean-themed BLÅVINGAD toy collection; and the message it carries. Insights and feedback from children tend to be the key that unlocks much in the process. For BLÅVINGAD, it was the panel’s concern for the ocean that sparked ideas that would eventually flow into everything from game and character development to material choices.

One man's scrap is another man's decoration

The CYLINDER candle holders came in various colours and heights, simply yet stylishly designed by sibling designers Knut Hagberg and Marianne Hagberg. They got the idea for the candle holders when they visited a supplier who manufactured metal furniture. There was a lot of leftover material, so Knut and Marianne began to ponder.

The metal scrap in the factory was transformed, based on the siblings’ sketches, into simple, cylindrical candle holders. They were sold in three different sizes and were first introduced in the 1982 IKEA catalogue under the apt name CYLINDER, available in colours such as white, red and silver.

The cylindrical candle holders have been re-released at IKEA several times, including under the name TYNGDKRAFT. The latest edition was released in 2023, in discreet purple, clear blue, green and bright orange, with the new name TUVKORNELL in the NYTILLVERKAD collection.

A flexible desk chair; designed with the home office in mind

“Lots of people have their desks in their living room or hallway, so we wanted to make a chair with a homey feel that would blend in with the rest of the furniture. We chose a simple, airy shape and added the practical properties that a chair needs. The handle at the back makes it easy to move around, which is perfect as it fits anywhere in the home!”

- Sebastian Holmbäck and Ulrik Nordentoft, IKEA of Sweden

The sweetest form of food

The DUKTIG play kitchen was a miniature version of the VÄRDE kitchen series from back in 1998. Designer Mikael Warnhammar shrunk his own kitchen design down into a children’s version that was ideal for the DUKTIG children’s series, which had been around since the launch of Children’s IKEA in 1998. The DUKTIG series was made to provide children with props and encourage role play around life at home, and was launched with the new Children’s IKEA department. The DUKTIG play kitchen joined the range in 2007 and was presented in the IKEA catalogue in 2011.

How low can the price go?

Vivianne Sjölin, the range coordinator at IKEA, thought that IKEA had too many big, heavy tables made of wood, metal and glass. Vivianne wanted to see nice, little, colourful tables that were easy to place with flexible use, and that customers might buy on impulse, almost like a souvenir.

Back home in Älmhult, Jan Hellzén and Tomas Paulsson were in the samples room talking about tables when Ingvar Kamprad stopped by, pointed at the table and asked the price. Tomas and Jan improvised a price of 298 kronor. Ingvar didn’t like the price, so he suggested that it could be made out of board-on-frame, the same technique as interior doors, and it can’t cost more than 75 kronor. Tomas was familiar with board-on-frame; so when Jan visited the factory, and product development began in earnest.

In 1979, the table came into the range and the price was 78 kronor. LACK was launched in the 1981 catalogue, by which time the price had gone up to 89 kronor. Everyone was happy; apart from Ingvar, who thought the table was far too expensive.

You can still buy the LACK table at IKEA, and at a lower price than the original. Ever cost-conscious, Ingvar Kamprad would probably have been happy with that.

The image is from the 1985 IKEA Catalogue that says: “The table for all your rooms.”

The right light to focus on the important things

When designer Lennart Centervall designed the FOTO floor lamp, he was clearly inspired by the lighting in photography studios. His idea was to create a lamp that provided directed lighting, ideal for reading or needlework. The shade was height adjustable and rotatable, so the lamp could be pointed in any direction.

Lennart had the same idea about a directed light when he designed a pendant version of FOTO. The lamp was described as “focus lighting for plants or a music centre, for example” when it was presented for the first time in the 1979 IKEA catalogue.

The dish that started it all

IKEA soon discovered that the same approach could be applied to other products – and the BANG mug was the first. The mug sold very well, but it soon required some product development. Since the mug was not stackable, it took up too much space in distribution and sales. A new model of BANG was developed, but the function and design were not as good as before, and it was nowhere near as popular with customers. After four years it was replaced by the TROFÉ mug, which was stackable and looked good. It is still sold at IKEA, only under the name FÄRGRIK.

The dish that started it all

Most people who have visited an IKEA store are familiar with the hot dog. It began being sold at stores in the late 1980s, and Ingvar Kamprad wanted the hot dog to be half the price of one in town. Customers should be amazed at how cheap the hot dog was, and also how delicious. It was a success.
