Ceramic is a heat-resistant and durable material that has been used by humans to make practical objects for thousands of years. The base material is different types of clay that are oven-burned and become things like terracotta, stoneware, pottery and porcelain. At IKEA we mainly use ceramic for plant pots, porcelain, washbasins and kitchen sinks. Since it can be shaped and even glazed to the desired colour and shine, the possibilities of styles and looks are endless.

”With BALUNGEN I wanted to create a series of bathroom accessories that are as clever and functional as they are beautiful, to help you get organised. Bathroom interiors from the 18th and 19th centuries inspired the traditional look. If you appreciate craftsmanship and have an eye for detail, BALUNGEN is perfect for you. I hope that you’ll be able to create a beautiful, harmonious bathroom environment with these accessories, even in small spaces.”
