Make the home a healthier place
Pollution in a busy city can often be visible to the naked eye. But, did you know that the air in our homes also contains pollution from dust, pollen, cooking, and gas chemicals such as formaldehyde, that are bad for our health? Airing out and cleaning help to a certain degree, but with an air purifier, the particles and chemicals are effectively filtered – while you do other things.
David Wahl works as a Product Designer at IKEA. In connection with a move some years ago, he became more aware of how much the indoor air means to our health. No matter if we live in a megacity or the countryside. “All homes contain particles in different shapes, and today when we spend more and more time indoor, they can lead to, among other things, allergic reactions and bad sleep.”
When David had trouble finding affordable and good-looking air purifiers, he started experimenting and building his own at home. “They turned out nice, but were honestly not the most efficient.” The experience was still valuable when he eventually joined our team that developed FÖRNUFTIG air purifier. The work was much about optimising all small technical details to make it simple without sacrificing quality and energy-efficiency. “But when we develop at IKEA, we also do it from a home furnishing perspective, and we want FÖRNUFTIG to blend into the home. That’s why you can hang it on the wall, put it on the floor or use the handle to move your air purifier to another room.”
FÖRNUFTIG is quite far from the first attempts David did at home in his apartment. In a team with various competencies, there are better preconditions to develop a reliable and good looking air purifier that can make a difference for more people. “Air pollution is a serious problem, and we want people to feel that the home is a safe and healthy place.
A little studio apartment where the living room is a workspace too. Sound familiar? Even with its small footprint, this living-work area delivers on all fronts, offering up a corner for creative work, a generous sofa for down-time and enough storage – open, closed and secreted away – to keep every object organised and accessible.
With the IKEA Home smart system and other genius products, you can make your home – or even just one room – the cleverest on the block. Say hello to the products that can make everyday life a whole lot smoother.
Meet Darius, the hero of this week who works in IT and usually does that from the comfort of his home. He is lucky to have a separate home office in the apartment but not entirely happy with the way it‘s furnished. Darius is dreaming of a modern and ergonomic place to work, more space for storage and a cosy reading corner to spend his free time after work. But does it mean that he should level his old room to the ground? Our interior designer Gabija has shown what can be done without major repairs.
