IKEA releases a wellness collection including its first Yoga kit

IKEA have made their move into the trillion-dollar wellness space with a limited-edition range all about natural, relaxed and organic materials designed to help us reach a state of zen.

If you’re into what’s good for you, then you’ll be a fan of IKEA’s latest release: HJÄRTELIG, a wellness collection.

Featuring a range of furniture, home furnishing accessories and IKEA’s very first yoga kit, the collection is designed to set the ideal conditions for rest, relaxation and gentle exercise.

Helping you focus and be present, HJÄRTELIG takes inspirations from mother nature and sustainable materials such as cotton, rattan, linen, cork and pine.

“In designing this collection, we hope to encourage people to press the ‘pause’ button, if only for a little while, in a life that’s often hectic, complicated and connected,” says Andreas Fredriksson, of the IKEA designers behind the collection.

The release comes off the back of results from last year’s IKEA Life at Home Report, where they discovered that many of us want home to be a haven, but find an inability to disconnect and be present due to technology.

So HJÄRTELIG is designed to draw you back into your space, creating a light and peaceful feeling. It’s no green juice, but sustainable materials and natural fibres will make you feel peaceful and relaxed.

Favourites from the collection include this beautiful Rattan headboard:

“In the HJÄRTELIG yoga bag there is room for everything you need to bring to your yoga class,” says IKEA designer Maja Ganszyniec. “The big part has room for both exercise clothes and towels, and in the pockets you can have smaller things.

“I also created opening in the straps on the outside where you can slide in your yoga mat for ease. Even better, it is made by cotton from more sustainable sources – Namaste.”

The collection also includes jewellery bowls, scented candles, bamboo coat hangers, bedding, pots and textiles to encourage relaxation and mental presence within the home.

The HJÄRTELIG range is available for a limited time in all Australian stores from April 2018.
