After buying the new curtains at IKEA yesterday I became curious who designed these…Erika Pekkari was the answer. Of course I had to look her up on the internet and I discovered a whole range of wonderful products she designed for IKEA. I think most of us will have something in our home designed by Erika without even actually knowing this. Check out her website and see if you can find your original “Erika Pekkari”…

A-ha. I have her lemon fabric as curtains in the kitchen. I love some of her "vintage" IKEA designs from the mid-1990s. Where did it all go? Like the Trofast cradle/sofa?

I saw an Ikea package with your name. it says Bolja. It is bright pink or hot pink with white flower design.
Do you have a picture of this somewhere? I can't find it on ebay, yahoo or even Ikea. size 78 x 39. what is bolja? is it a table cloth?
Pls send me photo of it opened out so I can see the whole cloth. or send URL where I can view it. thank you.

how fun! I have the RISTEN plastic small storage (1998) all over my house. I believe they are still in production.

I am in love with the ETHEL SLINGA red quilt cover. I am desperately looking for one full size. I felt so bad when I found out it was discontinued at the IKEA stores. I have been looking for other designs but this is the only one I truly like!. Does anyone knows how can I get one of them? Is IKEA going to sell them again?
