"Known for his playful approach to everyday objects, Swedish designer Gustaf Westman collaborates with IKEA to launch a vibrant 12-piece collection of tableware and home accessories. Building on his first unveiled piece, the 'throne' for the Swedish meatball, the series spans porcelain plates and cups, candleholders, lighting, and more, offering a playful take on festive tradition. The collection is guided by a simple idea: celebration doesn't require a special occasion, inviting people to create joy and connection on their own terms. The collaboration marks Westman's first-ever product design partnership and finds a natural home in IKEA's annual winter collection, VINTERFINT."
"The collection by Gustaf Westman and IKEA is defined by his curvy, confident forms and bold color palette. Classic reds and greens nod to traditional holiday design, while bubblegum pink and baby blue twist convention into something modern and joyful. Shapes are expressive yet functional: square-edged plates with rounded wells create a mosaic-like cohesion, a dedicated meatball plate honors IKEA's iconic Swedish staple, and an oversized cup-and-saucer set for glögg accommodates biscuits, recalling Westman's childhood memories of festive generosity."
