Measuring 120 cm in width, 45 cm in height, and 37 cm in depth, the TOLKNING bench is a versatile addition to any room. Weighing 11 kilograms, it can be placed around the dining table, in the hallway for storing clothing, or even at the foot of the bed in the bedroom, providing both seating and storage solutions.

TOLKNING Nightstand

The TOLKNING nightstand is not limited to bedside use; its lightweight design allows for easy relocation, making it suitable for the living room or any other area where a small table is needed. Its adaptability ensures it meets various needs throughout the home.

TOLKNING Laundry baskets

This series offers two types of laundry baskets: a small, easily portable basket and a larger version equipped with wheels for effortless movement. These baskets combine practicality with the natural charm of rattan, enhancing the aesthetic of laundry storage.

TOLKNING Room Divider: Style and Function Combined

The versatile TOLKNING series is crafted from natural fibers with a warm, inviting look. The room divider is designed to create the feeling of a room within a room, making it perfect for separating spaces like a home office from the living room. With its handmade weave and natural materials, it adds both function and a touch of nature to your home.

TOLKNING Hanging baskets

The TOLKNING series also features two hanging baskets, providing practical storage solutions suitable for hallways, bedrooms, children's rooms, kitchens, and living rooms. Their versatile design allows them to be utilized wherever additional storage is needed, limited only by your imagination.

TOLKNING Basket with Lid

One example from the TOLKNING series is the lidded basket, which is no longer available at IKEA stores but perfectly reflects the series' craftsmanship and natural design language. With its woven rattan structure, soft fabric lining, and practical lid, it offers both style and functionality. Even though it is no longer part of the current collection, it remains a beautiful example of how the TOLKNING series combines elegance with everyday usability.

The TOLKNING series exemplifies IKEA's commitment to creating functional yet stylish home furnishings. Its handcrafted rattan pieces add a touch of natural elegance to any space, making it a valuable addition to contemporary home decor.
