Ikea named the products after the interpersonal problems they solve

They say that for every disease a rose grows, and Ikea says that for every problem in an interpersonal relationship its product 'grows'. Ikea is known for having products with interesting names. This is no coincidence, as the founder is dyslexic. Therefore, instead of product codes, he invented a naming system to make products easier to remember. He named garden furniture after Swedish islands, gave chairs and tables male names, larger products after major Swedish places... Now Ikea turned to Google for inspiration and named the products after the most searched terms in the field of relationship problems. Each product solves the problem for which it was named.

Ikea placed a replica of a Syrian apartment in the store

Ikea in Norway has teamed up with the Red Cross and installed a life-size replica of a Syrian apartment in its store in Slependen. It is typical for Ikea to display nicely furnished rooms that imitate a real home in its stores, but this pop-up apartment, which came as close as possible to the one 'on the ground', is the complete opposite and reflects the real situation in Syria. The installation has a charitable note, but at the same time reminds people how lucky they can be to live in the conditions they do.

People who have no idea about assembling Ikea furniture

Assembling Ikea furniture is quite simple and we have to be really clumsy not to say anything that we fail to put together simple furniture elements such as a chest of drawers, a table and a chair. Apparently, despite the crystal clear instructions, this is too much for some. These individuals covered the whole line when assembling Ikea furniture. Can you really be so incompetent that you fail? The answer is more than obvious 'yes, you can'!

The Belgians spent the night in an Ikea store after hiding in a closet

Two guys from Belgium went even further than the Slovenian who took a bath in the jacuzzi at the Bauhaus (they were arrested overnight by the police because they imitated the Belgians and tried to spend the night in Harvey Norman). They just spent the night in the Ikea store and, as they say, the best night of their lives is behind them. Meatballs for dinner and the most comfortable bed for sweet dreams.

Hikea - this is what it looks like when Ikea furniture is assembled under the influence of psychoactive substances

Don't do this alone at home! Assemble Ikea furniture, but not under the influence of psychoactive substances like the actors of the documentary series on the Hikea YouTube channel. As you probably know from your own experience, assembling Ikea furniture is not an art, so it mostly goes smoothly, as the instructions are clear and written step by step. All this does not apply if we are under the influence of drugs. Thus, a seemingly simple task becomes a whole science. It's like letting a 3-year-old build Lego Technic instead of Lego Duplo bricks.

So Ikea mocks Kanye West, who wants a collaboration

Ikea responded to Kanye West's request for collaboration. In March, the American rapper tweeted that he was greatly inspired by a visit to Ikea, and recently expressed his desire to collaborate on the radio. After a few days, Ikea herself responded to the request, being "enthusiastic" about West's proposal and telling him that she could make him famous. But the sentence must be read in English, otherwise we do not know that it is a clever play on words. "... we could make you famous" is a reference to his infamous video with naked celebrities. Well, Ikea also added an interesting design for a bed and a chair, specially adapted for his wife Kim Kardashian.

Ikea pokes fun at food photography obsessives with Instagram's 17th-century version

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.
