IKEA collaborates with Swedish designer Gustaf Westman to launch a collection centered on the traditional meatball. The first piece is a porcelain plate designed to elevate the presentation of meatballs in a festive manner. The collection aims to blend tradition with modern design, reflecting the evolution of Swedish dishes alongside the potential for innovative design. O'Brian states the collaboration focuses on reimagining home gathering traditions through playful designs. Westman emphasizes the importance of functionality with humor in design, linking the plate to Swedish Christmas traditions.
The first object unveiled is a porcelain plate designed to give the familiar dish, in all its many forms, a new stage.
This collaboration is about taking the traditions of gathering in the home and reimagining them through playful and unexpected designs.
In Sweden, meatballs mean Christmas, and this plate is my way of honoring that tradition.
We've always believed that the little things in life - like a perfectly round Swedish meatball - deserve big attention.
