In 2022 IKEA launched a new collection, Kåseberga, in collaboration with World Surf League. We were part of creating the campaign and brining the collection to life. We made content from five different surf locations around the world, from Portugal to Los Angeles. The campaign was launched across all global IKEA channels.
