Swedish furniture giant IKEA works in collaboration with Woodgreen Pets Charity, a rehoming center to form its inaugural pet range: the Utsådd collection. It is comprised of soft toys and rattan beds for animal companions. The capsule features 29 pieces in total and is based on the activities of cats and dogs in the home: playing, sleeping, hiding, and eating.
Commercial manager at IKEA, Michaela Quinlan notes, "Our goal was to develop a collection of products that our cats and dogs love and that their human parents can feel good about and truly enjoy having as part of their home. We hope this partnership not only raises awareness of adoptions but also provides solutions and inspiration of how to create a comfortable living space for furry companions."
