Our homes reflect our values and beliefs. The objects we bring into our spaces often have deeper meanings – they tell stories about people, their mission and positive change. The IKEA MÄVINN collection embodies this idea. It is a collection with a focus on social impact, created in collaboration with artisans from around the world, who have been given the opportunity for decent work and a better future. Each piece expresses respect for craftsmanship, support for communities and a commitment to sustainability.
The name of the collection comes from the Swedish region of Småland, where IKEA was founded, and means “favorable wind.” It symbolizes drive, hope and the opportunity for a better life. This is the message that all products from the collection carry. MÄVINN collections.
In 2012, IKEA decided to use its power to create change where it is needed most. In collaboration with social entrepreneurs, they now support local communities in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Jordan and Thailand. The MÄVINN collection is the result of this heartfelt collaboration: products made from natural materials not only decorate our homes, but also change the lives of the people who make them.
