Democratic Design Days is the yearly global press event where we give a behind the scenes look into IKEA product development. This year it took place on June 4-5 in Älmhult, Sweden – the very heart of IKEA. During these days we shared new products, prototypes and announcements within fields such as design, art, sustainability, health, food, and more.
