Before and after: see the full makeover of Tallinn Women Crisis Centre

In total, we have invested more than 29 000 euros in the improvement and renovation works. During the makeover, a new look was given to four family rooms, two bathrooms, a hallway, and a kitchen with a living room.

Sofa meeting the functions of the family at home
It would be strange if story of KLIPPAN sofa didn‘t start at home. It did at IKEA‘s product developer Lars Engman’s home where his six-year-old daughter and her friends managed to ruin few sofas by jumping on them.
