The KNIXHULT lamp series is made of bamboo and is a small but important step towards our goal of having 100% circular products by 2030. But what does circular actually mean? Among other things, we are to only use recycled or renewable materials, and that all of our products are recyclable. To better understand what it means for a bamboo lamp, we travelled to Vietnam and studied the entire process from growing to weaving. The result – KNIXHULT.
It was with a supplier in Vietnam that product developer Anna Granath and the team realised that less than 20% of the bamboo plant is used when weaving home furnishings. The rest is sorted to be used as fuel. "Often, there is nothing wrong with the quality, the sorted bamboo just has minor colour variations", says Anna, who found those variations interesting. "We took a pile of discarded bamboo for test weaving and the result was so beautiful and genuine. It became even more beautiful when the skilled craftspeople at our weaving centre took over".
On site in Vietnam, Anna and the team could also adapt the lamp's construction. Not only for it to take up limited space during transport, but for it to be easy to take apart when it’s time for recycling. "The bamboo lamp shade is treated with a water-based lacquer and should be sorted separately, while the cord and lamp holder should be sorted as electrical waste", says Anna. "But before being recycled, of course it will have provided beautiful lighting for many years".
For Anna, KNIXHULT became something more than a lamp with nice lighting. The whole project gave her a useful insight. "I think we all need to see the earth's resources with new eyes and question why some of it is seen as waste. KNIXHULT is a small step in the right direction. By allowing a natural expression to shine, we can use 65% of bamboo instead of just 20%."

The entrance area is the first and the last space we see in our home – it greets us as we enter and says goodbye when we leave. A harmonious interior helps to relax when stepping into home, but how can the entrance area contribute to the overall sustainability in your home? It is a great not only for storage but also for waste sorting systems. With several containers, you can create your own individual sorting system depending on the sorting rules in your country. A smart idea for homes with small kitchen and for more motivation to remember to bring the waste out!
At IKEA, we always look for ways to make more from less. We aim to use only renewable and recycled resources by 2030, to make sure that we create value rather than waste. When you bring the products home, we want to help you make them live as long as possible, and we offer you hundreds of solutions for a more sustainable life, from saving water and energy at hoe to sorting waste or reducing the footprint.
Spending most of our time at home, we all probably long to enjoy an uplifting dinner in our favourite restaurant. So why not create the environment worthy the restaurant at home? It doesn't matter if it's a romantic dinner for two, a family celebration or a special occasion just for yourself. Our interior designer reveals what could help brighten up your daily life at home.
In the new season, we will show how to create an interior that reflects your personality. Are you ready for makeovers? Fill in the application form and keep your fingers crossed. Maybe this time you will be the lucky one!
NEW SEASON, NEW INSPIRATION FOR MAKEOVERS
What is the most unusual room IKEA interior designers have worked with in "Home idea with IKEA"? From bedrooms to studios, to a tree house: every project has had its own challenges. Still, there has never been a room as unusual as this one. It is a kitchen and an orangery in one and an activity hub for the whole family. IKEA interior designer Katrīne will need all of her skill to make change happen in this space: a room where plant-lover Margita lets her passion free rein.
When you believe in what you do, there is nothing that is not possible. Seven years ago, Elīna had a dream. Her dream was to make fresh, seasonal and local products available for those busy city-dwellers. For those, who do not have the time to find the wonderful hidden gems of our countryside. And so svaigi.lv was born. Elīna has always wanted the interior of her business to show its personality, but there was always something in the way. Now, as her business turns seven years old, she has decided that the time is ripe for change. Will IKEA Interior Designer Linda manage to catch the vibe of this business?
