IKEA launched a brand new store in Sheffield. As our gift to the steel city, in collaboration with local artist Jason Heppenstall, we have brought to life Sheffield’s most famous falcon with a little help from an icon of our own. Meet Allen the Peregrine, a 7-metre wide falcon made from over 17,000 IKEA allen keys. The majestic creation stands proudly in Sheaf Square, just outside Sheffield’s main station as a joint symbol of the town and the new store.
