We talk a lot about the smart home and the struggle to keep it simple. Well, who does simplicity better than IKEA? Following their tabletop wireless chargers, IKEA is now selling their own smart lights and dimmers — and no, you don’t have to assemble the electronics. That’d be fun, though! So far, the lights are […]
Today in obscure corporate Facebook accounts, we have Ikea Australia (there’s one for every country Ikea is in, best I can tell) coming at Kanye West, kind of. Calling it beef is too strong — it’s hard to classify it, actually, but I think that captures Kanye West, the man, the musician, and the social media user, pretty well. […]
Sadly, virtual reality can’t fully replicate the IKEA experience until the smell of Swedish meatballs can be accurately generated, but we’ll take this for the time being. IKEA has gotten together with HTC and Valve to create a virtual kitchen showroom that you can explore from home using the HTC Vive. On its face, the […]
Remember all that great IKEA furniture with the built-in wireless charging pads from a few months ago? Well, grab a golf pencil and your appetite for Swedish meatballs, because they’re finally available.

I don’t think there will be any DIY involved, but Upptäcka certainly does carry over the simple style we’ve all becomes accustomed to from IKEA.
Apparently, the earth was ripped asunder and the four horsemen rode forth yesterday, and I wasn’t aware. Indeed, the very well-structured, symmetrical, do-it-yourself foundations of our civilization have been reduced to rubble – IKEA is discontinuing the EXPEDIT shelving system. I’ll wait for your panic attack to subside before continuing. Actually, everything is going to […]
We’ve seen a few companies this year make unexpected leaps into the high-tier tech market (Huawei, for one), but this one manages to come as a surprise. The master of DIY furniture, IKEA, is now selling a television. And believe it or not, it’s no joke – at least, from what we know so far.
A brand new IKEA marketing campaign is about to kick off, and it looks like a celebration of the DIY culture that the self-styled “Life Improvement Store” has established.
