Keep Your Receipt, You Might Want To Return This Ikea Rug

πŸ‘€

An Ikea rug designed by Louis Vuitton’s artistic director has got people talking.

The homeware item has been designed to look like a giant Ikea receipt. And, rather brilliantly (or bizarrely, we can’t decide which) the receipt is for the rug itself - like some kind of weird rug inception.

The statement piece forms part of β€˜Markerad’, a new collection by Virgil Abloh for the Swedish retailer.

β€œVirgil has a fantastic ability to work with essential functions and basic materials and create something new,” said Ikea’s creative lead Henrik Most, who worked with Abloh on the collection. β€œEach Markerad item is both a design object and a piece with high artistic value.”

The collection, presented at the retailer’s Democratic Design Days conference, is aimed at young people and includes a red doorstop, daybed, slogan rug and a very minimalist glass cabinet.

But the receipt rug is what’s really got people talking...

The collection drops in 2019. Good luck keeping it clean, that’s all we’re saying.
