IKEA: Designing Life in Aotearoa

IKEA: Designing Life in Aotearoa

Join us for an exclusive Monday evening walking tour of the new IKEA store at Sylvia Park. This guided experience offers an insightful look at the history of the iconic brand and how it translates its philosophy to life in Aotearoa. We’ll hear directly about the New Zealand research that shaped the store layout and product localisation, addressing the unique needs of our people and place. Discover how thoughtful design and the concept of democratic design influences everything from furniture to store strategy. Finish the tour with networking and a taste of Sweden in the Swedish Restaurant.

Note there will be two groups, one at 6pm and one at 7pm. Strictly capped at 25 per session. Please register for one session only. All duplicates will be removed and risk missing out on both sessions.
