11 Must-Haves From IKEA's New Self-Care-Themed Collection

It's no secret that IKEA's collaborations are legendary with collections by design and cultural icons like Sabine Marcelis, Virgil Abloh, and even Solange Knowles in their roster.

Next up? IKEA and Finnish design house, Marimekko. The brands teamed up for their first-ever collaboration, available March 1. Rooted in Nordic sauna culture, the new launch is filled with everything you need before, during and after your sauna experience.

"We can't talk about Nordic lifestyle or Nordic well-being without sauna," Minna Kemell-Kutvonen, the design director of home & print design at Marimekko, tells MyDomaine.

Though the concept of sauna culture might be unfamiliar, the principles of self care, community, and taking time for yourself in nature are found everywhere.

While the brands share some Nordic philosophies, Marimekko brought its signature bold prints and joy-inducing colors to the collaboration while IKEA brought its efficient take on design. The launch brings 26 new styles decked out in four brand-new prints by Marimekko.

"Everything is really functional and simple, but you shouldn't underestimate that part of just getting happy over a colorful print," Mikael Axelsson, designer at IKEA, says.

This bench may be a natural fit inside any sauna, but it has plenty of uses outside of the heat too. With clean lines and a softly-curved seat, we love this as an entryway or mudroom seat or a place to sit in a bathroom. Made with birch, the BASTUA bench will bring a touch of Nordic design to any home.

It wouldn't be an IKEA product list without a shopping bag mention. IKEA bags are known for their durability, but we can't get enough of this design. The pink stripes add a touch of whimsy to everyday errands, and both the short and long straps make for easy transport.

This robe is perfect for relaxing post-sauna or just getting ready to start your day. The pattern was inspired by rhubarb leaves that sometimes grow outside of Finnish sauna buildings in colors reminiscent of a Finnish summer.

An easy-going, small space-approved side table is a smart addition to any room that needs extra table tops.

“Nordic furniture design has always been characterized by clean lines and simple constructions that focus on function," Axelsson says. "The BASTUA side table is my take on this heritage.”

If you're looking to add some more pattern to your BASTUA side table, this tray was smartly designed to nestle right on top. We're partial to this blue-green design, which is meant to emulate the shape of chopped logs that heat Finnish saunas.
