Some time ago, Ikea introduced furniture for wireless charging of smartphones and tablets, but now it wants to go one step further. Heat Harvest will collect waste heat in the house and turn it into electricity. The thermoelectric device is the work of Sergej Komardenkov and Vihanga Goro and will be incorporated into furniture such as a table. It will collect the heat given off by objects like a hot cup of coffee and a computer and turn it into free electricity that we can use again. For example, to charge smartphones.

One of the most annoying habits of smartphone users is taking pictures of food. It is these "Dinner Snappers", i.e. people who take pictures of meals on the table, that Ikea treated themselves to in their latest ad. Set in the 17th century, the sarcastic ad was created by Swedish advertising agency Acne and imagines what dining would have looked like if people back then were as obsessed with portraying food as they are today.
Ikea is constantly bringing us ingenious and affordable designer pieces. This also includes the "Södakra" lamp made of wood, which looks really elegant due to its elaborate design!
