There will be over 20 different pieces, including furniture, interior design solutions and accessories for the upcoming music producer. The design is specifically made to be suitable for creating, listening and produce music at home. Some of the products will be shown on the IKEA Festival, which takes place in Milano between the 7th and the 10th of June.
And now, in line with the festival, IKEA has revealed the first products from the collaboration. It is a re-make of the classic bag ”FRAKTA”, which is an iconic IKEA piece that probably everyone has held at least once. Swedish House Mafia has now put their own touch to it. With a black design, the DJ-trio has created three different bags, all inspired by the needs you have as a musician when you are on the run.
