Solange's Saint Heron x IKEA Collab Is What Your Home Furnishings Have Been Waiting For

A new season is the perfect time for change. Whether it be your wardrobe, your hair, or your location, the summer is the best time to bring a fresh perspective to your life.

Another way to embrace change is to spice up your living space by redecorating your home and a new collaboration between Solange Knowles' Saint Heron and IKEA is aiming to do just that.

What happens when you take the eclectic, innovative style of Solange Knowles and combine it with the affordable, modern aesthetic of furniture giant IKEA? Well, you get their upcoming design collaboration that promises to be forward-thinking while offering designs that excel at multifunctional use.

First reported by industry insider Hypebae, head designer Marcus Engman confirmed early last month that IKEA would move forward with its plans to collaborate with Solange's creative company Saint Heron. The collection is said to "explore architectural and interior design objects intended for multifunctional use." The collaboration is part of IKEA's 2018 Democratic Design Days program.

Engman also said that the Saint Heron collab was essentially born out of curiosity. "At IKEA we are curious about the creative space in between architecture, design, art and music and how that could come alive in the homes of the many people. This is what we want to explore together with Saint Heron."

At press time, there is no release date for the Saint Heron x IKEA furniture collab, but you can get a sneak peek in the video below:

xoNecole: Let’s start off by you both telling me a little bit about yourselves.

xoN: Oh, okay, you’re both from the same area! Is that how y'all met?

xoN: Wait, so how did it progress to what we see today?

"We were all hanging out over someone’s house. The chemistry was natural, and we hooked up. Two weeks later, I ended up dumping my boyfriend at the time; we were engaged a few years later, and here we are – still together."

xoN: I love stories when stories end like that. But let’s back up a bit. Take me through the process. After reconnecting, how did things blossom? Did y’all have the “what are we” conversation? How did it develop from an attraction to a relationship? Talk to me about the courtship.

xoN: I’m hearing that more and more, actually. Sometimes what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained! What did being in such a serious relationship teach you?

xoN: What was it that he did to make you feel like that?

xoN: And what was it for you, Donay?

"It was from spending time with her. I just knew. I literally didn’t like when she wasn’t in my presence. I knew she was my wife."

xoN: Okay, so you spoke a little bit about infidelity. What were some of your biggest challenges, and how did you navigate them?

xoN: You mentioned family, what are some of your other shared values?

xoN: This is everything. But I mean, do y’all fight? What are some of the things you argue over?

xoN: Finally, I’ll close with this. What are your favorite things about each other?
