An IKEA and Byredo home fragrance collection is coming

IKEA byredo collaboration

The Swedish powerhouses unite

Beauty Crew Beauty Writer / June 14 2017

When we think of go-to homeware stores, it’s very hard to look past IKEA. Additionally, when we think of fragrance powerhouses loved the world over, Byredo often takes the top spot.

That’s why we were incredibly excited to hear that the two companies have announced they’re working on a home fragrances collaboration that’s set to launch in 2019.

While there is little word yet on what the limited edition collaboration will include, founder of Byredo, Ben Gorham has explained, “smell is a very relevant part of the home. It creates a sense of comfort and security. We seldom speak of it and I think this project enforced that as well: getting people to think about smell.”

Additionally, Gorham says, “I think we’re working on using scent to communicate emotions and tell stories of people, culture and design. It’s a layer we’ve imagined can add a very intimate experience to this scale that IKEA works in.”

While there’s no official information on which scents will feature in the collaboration, there’s a good chance Swedish cinnamon buns may feature if IKEA’s website is anything to go by.
