The IKEA Spisig “play kitchen with curtain” is a versatile toy. One side of the toy has a play kitchen, complete with sink, faucet, stovetop, oven and storage. The other side has a blackboard. Thus, children can play on both sides. The curtains on top also enable the blackboard side to function as small puppet theater. Indeed, the IKEA toy description further specifies:
“We call it a play kitchen, but what it actually is–that’s up to little imaginations. Maybe it will be a restaurant, café, shop or puppet theatre. Or something completely different.”
In any event, the IKEA Spisig toy is a patented design. The US design patent, USD924984S1, titled Children's kitchen, was awarded, on July 13, 2021, to the Swedish industrial designer, Maria Gustavsson, cofounder of the Swedish Ninja design firm.
Below, the Figures 3 and 4, extracted from the patent, together with images of the marketed IKEA play kitchen and theatre toy. The patent Figure 3 depicts the front view (kitchen side) of the design. The patent Figure 4 depicts the back view (theater side) of the design.
