MÄVINN Collection

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.

Much more than wall decoration

The shape and the bold geometric expression of the MÄVINN wall decoration set makes it suitable for both walls and tables. Handcrafted with flexible banana bark fibres and black cotton threads, it also provides safe and stable employment for women in rural India.

Scandinavian modern design made with traditional craftsmanship

In MÄVINN, we are combining traditional handicraft and natural materials with bold patterns and strong colours. Designed to make a difference, we hope the collection can help set the right tone for your living room.

It’s all in the handmade details

This little hand-embroidered caterpillar provides work for 305 refugees from Syria and artisans in Jordan. By applying traditional handmade techniques to all MÄVINN products, we aim to connect more people and places through crafts.

One vase won’t change the world. But ten thousand might.

The MÄVINN plates and vases are handcrafted, creating jobs for Indigenous and tribal groups in Thailand. And the MÄVINN table-runner is woven, hand-embroidered, and hand-tasselled to improve the livelihood of women artisans in rural India. Getting something new for the home has never felt so good!

A handwoven jute rug with a lot of heart

In partnership with the social business Karupannya, this rug was designed to help create work for people living on the riverbanks of Bangladesh, a region heavily affected by global warming. The rug is handwoven from undyed jute and cotton with details in coloured wool, making it both decorative and durable.
