IKEA Launches INDUSTRIELL with Dutch Designer Piet Hein Eek A Collection that Celebrates Unique Products on a Big Scale April 2018
Human Feel in
Large Scale Production
(Hong Kong • 10 April 2018) Following
collaborations with renowned designers HAY and
Tom Dixon, IKEA has partnered with Dutch
designer Piet Hein Eek to turn mass-produced
uniformity on its head and create the new
beautifully imperfect collection – INDUSTRIELL,
which features a range of furniture, tableware,
and lighting, enabling public to own good design
with a human quality at an affordable price.
INDUSTRIELL is set to launch on 13 April in
Hong Kong.
“It turned out that IKEA and I had thought about
the same thing for ages,” Piet says. “To make
objects feel more human and more personal
while still having an industrial production
process.” Piet Hein Eek said.
Upholding the concept of respecting materials,
IKEA and Piet Hein Eek rethought the ways to
work with wood, glass, ceramics and textiles
which added personal touch to each product
even they are mass-produced, making each
product a unique piece.

The Sustainable
INDUSTRIELL
Led by Materials
When working with various natural materials, IKEA
and Piet Hein Eek tried to keep the original
condition of the materials and throw away as little
as possible. During the production process,
however, the team encountered one of the biggest
challenges. When producing INDUSTRIELL, the
factory and the team had opposite focus and
needs. The factory focuses on shaping white
unblemished pine furniture perfectly, while the
team strives to maximise the use of each tree to
protect the environment as much as possible.
IKEA strives to take better care of the environment.
IKEA always sources wood with very strict
standards in order to minimize the harmful impact
to the environment. By 2020, all the wood IKEA
sources will be from more sustainable sources –
the wood will either be recycled wood or Forest
Stewardship Council* (FSC) certified.
*Forest Stewardship Council is an independent, non-profit organization that
sets standards under which forests and companies are certified, so as to
ensure that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide
environmental, social and economic benefits.

THE NATURAL
IMPERFECTIONS PH150039
OF PINE
When creating the chair from pine,
they kept all the knots and changes in
the grain and colour of the pine that
form the natural imperfections.
Ultimately, each chair looked slightly
different from each other and became
a unique handcrafted item of furniture.

DRAWN BY HAND,
WOVEN BY MACHINE
INDUSTRIELL tea towels are the clearest
example of the “hand made, mass produced”
theme of the collection.
Piet hand-drew the pattern of the tea towels,
so that they would be less than perfectly
geometrical. But how can tea towels look like a
handmade textile when sewn by machine?
“The checks give the impression that someone
with an inferior handloom has really done their
best to weave a lovely design. The pattern
looks very handmade but is actually produced
in large quantities on a superior weaving
machine.” Piet said.

MISMATCHED
GLASSES
Glass production uses large-scale machines to ensure
standardised flawless quality.
After rounds of trial and error, the INDUSTRIELL
glass was eventually made from a hand-drawn sketch.
The sketch was converted into a digital drawing and
produced on two different machines, which creates an
interesting little mismatch when you combine them.

INDUSTRIELL vases were produced with
different shapes of molds, making each of
them looks slightly different from another.
