For their Överallt collection, Ikea collaborated with five designers from Senegal, Kenya, South Africa, and Ivory Coast. Their designs are meant to embody what they're calling an "urban living room" vibe—the spontaneous encounters you have when you pick up your morning coffee at your local cafe, or pick up groceries at the market. Here, we round up our 12 favourite picks for you.
