SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN, CHINESE CULTURE The purveyors of designer furniture at functional prices (and one of our favourite family stores to boot) have launched a new limited collection consisting of around 30 products, just in time for the Chinese New Year season. TRENDIG 2013 is the stunning fusion of Chinese culture and Scandinavian design and features traditional Asian green and red colours mixed with natural blonde materials. With 30 products focused on dining and eating, the TRENDIG 2013 collection is only available for a limited time, so hurry and make your way to your neighbourhood IKEA stores for some festive furniture this year. Our favourite is the TRENDIG 2013 cabinet, with its cute, circular handles painted a beautiful shade of red and the intricate motif door design. We definitely see this becoming a living room conversation starter! The TRENDIG 2013 limited collection is available at IKEA stores and features cabinets, chairs, stools, tables, a butcher’s block, a lazy Susan and more.
