People go to IKEA for home items with a specific aesthetic in mind: Scandi. But good design is ultimately evolutionary, with the power to challenge perspectives. No one, however, saw its latest collection, FÖREMÅL, coming. Described as “Pretty, ugly, lovely”, this limited-edition series of bizarre objets d’art was dreamt up by leading Swedish glass and ceramic artist, Per B Sundberg, whose idea of antique-style candelabrums look like fluffy Bichon Frises, and terracotta planters come skull-shaped with a crown of tangled leaves. And don’t even try to decipher what’s printed on those polished storage chests—kaleidoscopic exotic birds?—just give them a prime spot to stand out in your white and grey apartment.
