Construction will begin on October 1st.

Ikea and Lego have teamed up to create a storage system called Bygglek that also serves as a game structure. The new collection consists of storage boxes with Lego studs, and a special Lego brick set, according to a Thursday release from Ikea.
Bygglek is designed to encourage play, while also tapping into a need for storage (and probably a desire to avoid stepping on Legos). It will launch on October 1 at Ikea stores throughout North America and Europe (excluding Russia), and should be available worldwide later this year.
“Where adults often see clutter, 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,” said Andreas Fredriksson, designer at Ikea from Sweden, in the release, “Plus, the Bygglek collection fits perfectly with other Ikea products, making it possible for your children’s creativity at home to become a fun and unique piece of decoration.”
Bygglek’s range includes one set of three small boxes and two sets of larger boxes, as well as a set of Lego bricks. Bygglek is compatible with existing Lego pieces. Prices start at $ 9.99 for the set of small boxes and go up to $ 14.99 for the largest box, according to Fast Company.
