IKEA SKOGSDUVA: A Magical Forest Children’s Collection

IKEA is introducing SKOGSDUVA, a children’s collection inspired by the wonders of the Swedish forest. This imaginative range features forest-themed soft toys, cushions, and duvet covers, encouraging kids to explore nature through play.

Each product in the collection offers fun facts about animals and their unique adaptations to forest life—for instance, the lynx with its natural snowshoes, or the hedgehog that hibernates through winter. The SKOGSDUVA collection will be available both in stores and online starting in October.

In the latest IKEA play report from 2024, they discovered that ‘having fun together as a family’ topped the chart of emotional priorities for both parents and children.

But after a day packed with schedules and to-do lists, it can be hard to see the forest for all the trees. And even playing can end up feeling like a chore.

Therefore, IKEA has created a collection that can help infuse more play and playfulness into everyday life through educational, inspirational, and practical products.

The SKOGSDUVA collection is designed to enhance the daily routines that you and your family share. Here, a pillow is also a log, a bathrobe can turn you into a lynx, a rug is a meadow, and the duvet covers can inspire bedtime stories.

With these products, you can make the magical Swedish forest come to life in your own home. In the SKOGSDUVA collection, you will meet animals, insects, and plants from the Swedish forest, all with incredible abilities that help them adapt and survive in the cold wilderness.

‘I want children to explore nature beyond the front door and feel like they can make these animals come alive in their rooms too. The collection is inspired by my childhood when I was outdoors a lot and created imaginary worlds where different animals lived’, says designer Malin Gyllensvaan

There is life on every branch, in every log, and under every stone. Insects are essential for all beings as they help aerate the soil, spread pollen, and feed the birds.

Invite these important little helpers into your home with the cylinder-shaped cushion illustrated with insects from the Swedish forest. And this pillow also helps support your child’s knees or arms for a more ergonomic reading or gaming position.

With the SKOGSDUVA toadstool-shaped stool cover, you can turn your FLISAT or MAMMUT stools into colorful feats for the eye.

Teach children about bees. These hard workers soar through the air to pollinate flowers and are important to nature. The plush SKOGSDUVA bees – available in two sizes – even love to be cuddled.  

Make the bed of the little ones with this playful duvet cover. The dark green print is inspired by the Swedish forest. Go together to find as many animals as possible, or count the mushrooms on the print until the eyes fall shut…  

Tidy up toys and cuddly toys in this handy storage basket. The basket is foldable and printed with different animals from the Swedish forest enjoying a cup of tea together.
