Genius IKEA LEGO BYGGLEK coming to you Oct 1st

In July, IKEAhackers reported a sneak peek of the 2-years in the making IKEA-LEGO BYGGLEK collaboration.

Now we have something more definitive.

Yes, folks, the IKEA BYGGLEK will hit IKEA stores in Europe and the USA on Oct 1, 2020. Mark that date, because they will sell out fast.

The BYGGLEK collection consists of four different products: one set of three small boxes, a large and medium box, and one set of LEGO bricks to kick-start the playful experience.

BYGGLEK can be used with any existing and future LEGO elements, as the studs used on the lid and front are part of the LEGO System in Play. The boxes retail from $9.99 upwards.

Fun Fact!

The BYGGLEK is one of the biggest molded items in LEGO history and is made out of the same material as LEGO bricks. Which means they are made to last for a long time.

But the BYGGLEK is much more than a box

It is a fun and clever storage solution that creates more room for play. With the LEGO studs on the top and the front, children can integrate the storage boxes as part of their LEGO builds. In essence, the boxes are giant bricks to house and display smaller bricks. Genius!

Kids can build inside, outside, or around BYGGLEK. They can connect several boxes together to create their LEGO world. And when it’s time to clean up, their creative worlds don’t have to be taken apart. Kids can display the boxes, pausing their stories for later. The creativity continues, and it’s easy to pick up the play again and again.

Play, display, replay

“Where adults often see a mess, children see a stimulating, creative environment, and BYGGLEK will help bridge the gap between these two views to ensure more creative play in homes around the world. Plus, the BYGGLEK collection seamlessly fits in with other IKEA products, making it possible for your child’s creativity to become a unique piece of decor at home,” said Andreas Fredriksson, designer at IKEA of Sweden. “

integrate it into your decor

Speaking about the creative solution, Rasmus Buch Løgstrup, designer at the LEGO Group said, “BYGGLEK is more than boxes. It is storage and play intertwined. BYGGLEK provides families with a product range that helps create space for more play in their everyday – fuelling creativity and making it possible to have more fun together. It’s a possibility to play, display the cool creations, and return to it to replay, remake, recreate or start over. BYGGLEK is all about endless possibilities, just like the LEGO System in Play.”

Fits into IKEA storage

The boxes nest well in the EKET shelf unit.

“The good thing is that you cannot put it together the wrong way, and you don’t need any tools. You just click it together. It is a quite a unique solution.”

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
