Zrinka Crnjak from Split was the first to use the new IKEA Planning Studio.

"I recently moved into a new apartment with my future husband, and we must model the kitchen - where we spend a lot of time because we both like to cook - as beautiful and functional as possible. That’s why the new IKEA Planning Studio came to me at the best time. The professional approach, care for details, and time that IKEA employees dedicated only to me and finally the proposed solution, but also a beautifully decorated space with many examples that you can see and touch, ensure a top service," said Zrinka Crnjak enthusiastically.
