“For IKEA PS 2026 bench, we made many prototypes before arriving at the perfect design. The big challenge? Making it entirely from pine while keeping the arch strong. The solution came when our engineers decided to slice the wood vertically, then glue it back together – simple, clever and it worked! I hope this bench lets people forget their worries for a moment, feel like kids again and just play. If you look closely… the bench is actually smiling.”
