Envisioning the next era of IKEA’s sustainable living future.

IKEA x Biodesign is a speculative design study imagining how bio-based materials and responsive systems could shape the next era of living experience. Leading the direction of the project, I synthesized user insights, technological signals, and long-term societal shifts to design future-forward concepts that merge living materials with adaptive furniture systems. The work demonstrates a rigorous approach to design research, circularity, and futurecasting—positioning sustainability not as an add-on, but as a core driver of transformative innovation.

Building on this foundation, the project explores how home environments could eventually behave more like living organisms—growing, repairing, sensing, and co-evolving with the people who inhabit them. Through system mapping, speculative scenarios, and brand-aligned opportunity framing, the project proposes a visionary yet practical direction for IKEA’s future: environments that enrich well-being, minimize material waste, and demonstrate new forms of regenerative interaction between humans and their spaces. This work reflects my broader design philosophy—creating solutions that are not only functional and beautiful, but anticipatory, ethical, and deeply attuned to the future of human experience.
