Safe cuddling with embroidered eyesFor us at Children's IKEA, the safety and security of children is most important. That's why it was a major setback for us in 1997 when a plastic eye came off one of our soft toys. But it taught us that adversity can lead to something really good. In this case, it not only led to us developing even better safety procedures, but also that our soft toys gained stronger personalities. With embroidered eyes, these cuddly friends are both safe and have more character.
Designer Ann-Cathrine Sigrid Ståhlberg“When I designed the VANDRING textile collection I was inspired by nature and animals and started by taking walks in the forest near my home in Sweden. I wanted the textiles to tell a story, and as the main characters I used forest animals – a hedgehog, fox, bear, hare and owl. We even developed them as soft toys to match the rest of the collection. So your child can have fun putting the animals on new adventures by having the toys follow the paw prints on the rug. I hope VANDRING really stimulates your child’s love for animals and nature.”
