IKEA NEWS : PS SERIE APRIL 2009

Found this IKEA (new PS serie) preview today on Emmas Blog, so interesting, thanx for sharing Emma!
The IKEA PS 2009 collection will be available in three selected stores in Sweden on February 1, and in all other stores in April. Text excerpt from Emma:

Svarva, by Front, one of Sweden's most interesting young design groups. Here they have worked with turned wood, cut into little pieces to add flexibility and life to this reading light.

Karljohan, a low stool or side table, inspired by a common Swedish mushroom, here made from solid wood (availabe in birch or pine).

Fjällbjörk, in Swedish this is called a kåsa, but I don't think there is an English word for this kind of mug, usually used on nature treks. It comes from the Sami culture, the Scandinavian version of the Native Americans. And since I am part Sami, this piece has a special place in my heart, and I'm real happy to have recieved this as a gift at the press show! Traditionally made from wood, and with plastic versions used in daycare groups all over Sweden, this is an upgrade in fine white porcelain.
