With BÅTSKÄR outdoor kitchen, you can rinse, chop, fry, grill and mingle with your guests in the open air. Sure, if there’s a drizzle, you will have to go inside, but your kitchen will do just fine outside. We have made sure it can withstand not only water but also sun and wind.
“Many people have discovered how lovely it’s to cook outside but feel it’s hard to find an outdoor solution that is practical enough, but also durable and well-designed. We wanted to solve that with BÅTSKÄR,” says Gunilla Hansson, product developer.
Everything you expect from a kitchen
IKEA has developed kitchens for decades, and with the BÅTSKÄR family, we have moved all our knowledge and experience outdoors. It has the same functions you can expect from an indoor kitchen: generous, easy-care and hygienic surfaces, good storage and soft-closing doors. But it’s more flexible and completely adapted to outdoor environments.
“BÅTSKÄR gives a bespoke feel, but you don’t have to hire a handyman to install it. And you can easily add or remove parts when the needs change. Or take the kitchen with you if you move.”
A place to gather around
For Gunilla and the team it was important to bring the aesthetic aspect outdoors. BÅTSKÄR has clean lines, a matte-grey finish and specially designed knobs and handles.
“We didn’t want to only contribute to smooth and practical cooking, but also create a lovely environment with room for everyone to gather and enjoy new flavours and food experiences.”
And maybe when we move outdoors, our shoulders go down and we become a little more free. The cooking suddenly feels like a pleasure, even on a Monday evening.
