Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.

”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.”
