SVÄRTAN COLLECTION – LIMITED EDITION
IKEA PRESS KIT /AUGUST 2016/ 2
WELCOME TO ANOTHER INDIA
This September 2016, IKEA is launching SVÄRTAN – a collection
which is the result of collaboration with Swedish textile designer
Martin Bergström and Indian fashion students. Using only black, white
and shades of grey, SVÄRTAN invites us to explore a side of India that goes
beyond the vivid colours usually associated with this striking country.
PATTERNS INSPIRED FROM URBAN LANDSCAPES
Consisting of textiles, paper items, glassware, ceramics and metal
objects, inspiration for SVÄRTAN has been drawn from inner-city
environments of India. The collection is full of subtle textures and
abstract patterns taken from objects that are usually overlooked,
encouraging us to see beauty in the seemingly mundane.
“My idea was to create a modern interpretation of India and its
heritage, a country with designs that are perceived in the West as
colourful, golden and shiny,” says Martin Bergström.
“SVÄRTAN is a limited edition collection, so if you fall in love with an item - don’t wait too long.”Karin Gustavsson Creative Leader, IKEA

ALWAYS A TOUCH OF THE HUMAN HAND
The entire SVÄRTAN collection has been produced in India and uses
many traditional techniques together with natural materials, while
the final production is more industrial in nature. This has given each
item a handmade look that pairs well with its design.
With so many different materials and objects in play, it is the
black, grey and white designs that keep the collection together;
where patterns are woven, printed or appear as textures.
“WHEN I CAME TO INDIA, I SAW THEAMAZING PATINA OF SURFACES, TEXTURESOF THE WALLS, PATTERNS CREATED BY THEMONSOON RAINS” Martin Bergström
IKEA IN COLLABORATION WITH MARTIN BERGSTRÖM
Swedish fashion and textile designer Martin Bergström
has been working in the fields of fashion, art and design
for over a decade. Known for his bold and avant-garde
designs, he uses everything from ink stains to forgotten
handicraft techniques to bring his ideas to life.

IKEA LOOKS TO THE DESIGN FUTURE OF INDIA
To create an image of what contemporary India looks like,
25 students from NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) in
New Delhi were invited to a workshop with Martin Bergström. The
students used inspiration coming from unexpected places; patterns in
surfaces and distressed walls, from dangling cables hanging over the
streets, and then made imprints or drawings of them. The goal was to
strike a balance between the organic and the abstract, to find poetry in
things that some people may overlook.
“WE MADE OVER 2000DRAWINGS IN THEWORKSHOP, WHILE INTHE FINAL COLLECTIONTHERE ARE AROUND 15 PATTERNS.”Martin Bergström
