NETHERLANDS- Art, fashion, design, architecture, and food are just some things on the table when Ikea joins forces with nine creatives ranging across Latin America. Together they will explore the cultures of festivities and socialising at home in Latin America for a new collection to be launched in 2023.

Ikea is always curious to learn more about life at home from various parts of the world, and this collaboration is a celebration of connecting directly with creatives that embody Latin American heritage.

Since opening stores in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and with Ikea about to launch in more markets, including Chile, Colombia, and Peru, Ikea is excited to announce a collection that celebrates their heritage. Together with nine of Latin America's most exciting creatives of today, it will explore how Ikea can infuse Latin American culture across the world.

"This collection is about amplifying and celebrating the talents of our collaborators ranging from a variety of creative fields including design, fashion, art, food and architecture," says Friso Wiersma, designer at Ikea of Sweden. "We were curious to learn what happens when different traditions in culture, crafts and expressions are mashed-up with the young and avant-garde scene of design, fashion, food, architecture and art," he adds.

The result is a new collection that promises to be vibrant, to be launched in 2023. The collection will include products that encourage and help people celebrate life and socialise around food and music, setting the vibe and atmosphere up for a great time – no matter your skillset, space, or budget constraints.

"I hope people will use them with this sense of putting their energy and history to the product so everyone could make their own story with these pieces of design and art we are creating," says Trini Guzman, muralist and multi-disciplinary artist from Santiago, Chile.

Latin American culture has a richness of different traditions in culture, craft, and expression, but common factors also unify. Together with the creatives of Latin America, Ikea is looking forward to a journey of showcasing authentic stories and products people can enjoy across the world. More about the collection
