"Sketches and drawings isn’t enough when designing sofas, the most fun part is going to the factory and testing your ideas. When I designed GRÖNLID, I thought a lot about the backrest’s look, and it was first on the factory floor that I came up with the solution after I started testing the loose cushions. The idea is that everyone should be able to use the cushions as they like so that the sofa suits them individually and feels both timeless and generous at the same time."

Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.
