End week with a bang
IKEA
The Swedish furniture retailer has launched Hantverk (handicraft in Swedish), a handmade collection of baskets, ceramics, textiles and more by artisans in Thailand, India and Jordan.
Inspired by Scandinavian design, each creation tells the story of a successful collaboration and of life-changing new opportunities. By teaming up with social entrepreneurs, Ikea contributes to creating jobs for people who need them.
The limited-edition Hantverk collection ($12.90 to $39) is now available at Ikea stores and online, while stocks last.
