Oh, patents! Ikea heart raccoon night light

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The IKEA Luriga heart raccoon night light squeezes on, and dims off. The design patent USD838896S1, titled Lamp, was awarded on January 22, 2019 to Tina Alnaes, the Swedish designer of the child LED night light. Below, the patent Figure 1 and an image of the marketed product.

 

Incidentally, the brand name IKEA is an eponymic acronym that stands for:

• (IK) Ingvar Kamprad, the initials of the founder’s name
• (E) Elmtaryd, the family farm where Kamprad was born, and
• (A) Agunnaryd, the name of the village where Kamprad grew up.
