A Once-Over At Ikea Furniture

I'm not a fan of IKEA. I was, but I am more ... Of course I continue to lose myself once or twice a year for reasons that reason ignores. At each visit, I always find myself buying a few trinkets whose value defies competition. It is a rule to which it is difficult to derogate (Oh! A garlic press red 2 €).

At a dark time, I was attracted by their tariffs and Scandinavian design, I confess. Like the hero of Fight Club, my apartment was a copy of the catalog page 187, summer 1998. And like everyone else I was quickly frustrated by this lack of originality.

But how original and not expensive? How to find a compromise between cost and originality?

Jef Deree, an Australian entrepreneur proposes a simple and affordable by selling stickers cut the size of IKEA furniture.

These stickers, and allow you to customize and very quickly relooker "simple" IKEA furniture. The approach is still quite primitive, but the result is quite satisfactory given the amount of work required.

The site offers a tool for the most intuitive choice. We start by asking you your country of residence so as to provide you with a list of furniture compatible and available in your country.

Once the effective selection of furniture, you can then customize as you see fit directly on the site. A panel of colors and patterns and a variety will be offered. You can view real-time the result according to your choice.

Once validated, your order is sent within 24 hours (From Australia!)

This company Spit Junction (South / West Australia) offers relatively attractive rates. For example, the customization of a library will not cost you more than € 12.

Of course all this remains very basic despite a wide choice of fun motifs. But it nevertheless allows for a nice furniture, original and cheap in minimum time. This seems already to be a very good start and an excellent alternative.

I imagine that this model can be easily duplicated on a whole bunch of globally standardized products (Levi's 501, Nike, etc ...). Some already proposed and are based on products such as IPOD, Dell, etc ... But I admit never having seen the model applied to furniture. A very good initiative that deserves, in my view, to find an echo in France and across Europe.

And you think that you?
