Chapter 8 IKEA

I.K.E.A. in the Auntieverse stands for "Interstellar Kawaii Environment for Aunties" It represents a unique furniture showroom planet where only customised interior designs and fittings are available, and modular products are nowhere to be found.

I.K.E.A. offers a wide range of vibrant colours and unconventional interior spaces. Aunties inhabit and interact with spaces that include creatures, wine, ramps, playrooms, indoor gardens, libraries, wardrobes, and everything else typically found in a furniture and interiors showroom, and more.

This chapter is a playful response to the often beige and neutral colour palettes offered by the capitalist world, designed to cater to low-risk, mass-market tastes and sales. IKEA in the auntieverse is an absurd, whimsical dreamland for aunties who seek fun and self-expression. The spaces are customised with a multitude of colours and intricate details, challenging the idea of practicality but igniting imagination about designing one's unique living spaces. It's a chapter that celebrates self-expression and individuality in interior design.
