“As a teenager, I loved to paint. It was a calm bubble that made me feel good – and I think today's youth might need this break from their everyday surroundings too. With the SOLFÅGEL collection, IKEA wants to help them. There’s everything from a portable easel to acrylic paints and a canvas pad. All with a high quality that helps them develop creative skills and reach new levels in their artistry. Democratising art is close to my heart."

For us at IKEA, creativity is a playful way of exploring the world. So, when young artists from all over the world told us how they needed more professional tools, we developed the SOLFÅGEL series – a range that inspires creativity and helps them to develop their skills. Here are acrylic paints, coloured pencils for sketching and shading, a canvas pad, a case for pencils and brushes, as well as an easel with a palette and spatula for mixing the paints.
