Bananas for banana bark and other natural materials
In the MÄVINN collection, we strive to use natural, renewable and biodegradable materials, such as banana bark, whenever we can in the production. By using otherwise discarded materials, we can create new products that are both beautiful and durable.
It’s more than a collection. It’s a movement.
At IKEA, we believe that decent jobs are a good way out of poverty. Together with our social business partners, we’ve designed the MÄVINN collection to match the skills of artisans in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Jordan and Thailand. With every MÄVINN product, you help support a more inclusive society while purchasing unique handmade home furnishings made with a lot of heart.“The women working with us have grown their household income by almost 60%. It has given their families new possibilities and themselves greater influence in family decision-making.”
