Glass vases by IKEA
IKEA was founded in the 1948 and is well known for its affordable furniture that has to be reassembled by the client.
When IKEA stores became larger, secondary products, related to furniture, were introduced.
Since the 1990’s, IKEA also added low cost glass vases to its catalogue and since that time, more than 60 series have been developed. Besides its own design team, IKEA employed different Nordic and other designers, (e.g. Maria Vinka, Anne Nilsson, Pia Amsell and Barbro Wesslander, Christina Halskov and Hanne Dalsgaart, Martin Bergström, Knut Hagberg and Marianne Hagberg, Mathias Hahn, Anna Efverlund, Johanna Jelinek, Emma Dafnäs, Per Ivar Ledang, Ola Wihlborg, Erika Pekkari, Äsa Gray, Lisa Hilland, Susan Pryke, Inma Bermudez, Ilse Crawford, Hanna Grann Dalrot, Hanna Klarqvist, Mikael Axelsson, Iina Vuorivirta), who produced different designs for IKEA vases.
These designs reflect the spirit of the time, at which they were made.
As for their furniture, the glass vases were named in different series, of which some are still in production.
They are made in large editions by machine production or hand-made in blowing glass studios enabling a good price versus quality ratio.
In this Design exhibition, examples of IKEA vases, produced from the 1980’s until today are shown.
The exhibition runs from 26/06/2022 until 25/09/2022 and can be visited by appointment.
