So, how do we co-create?
We’re curious by nature and driven by the need to do better. So we try to connect with people in as many ways as possible. We might meet you in an IKEA store in Japan, asking for feedback on a new prototype we’re working on, or we might start a conversation on social media about living with pets. Or we could ask you for your opinions on new product ideas or communication concepts.
Here are a few of the products we’ve created together
“Calling all university students!”
When developing EKENABBEN we asked a bunch of university students from different countries to help us out. And we learnt a lot.
Amongst other things we found out that:
- they wanted flexible and adaptable furniture
- they wanted furniture that helped them find their stuff fast
- they preferred a raw wood frame
Good things to know, right?
“Hey there hungry commuters!”
As a part of our On-the-Go project, we wanted to learn more about the needs of commuters who take food with them every day. So we headed to the IKEA store in Malmö, Sweden to pick our customers’ brains.
We learnt that a food container should ideally:
- be light and not too bulky
- be made from a sustainable material
- have dividers that can be removed
And there's much more to come
