It’s been busy the last two days setting up the IKEA design competition booth. My colleague/friend Marie Kanwischer and her friend Rae worked hard to set up the teenage bedroom. We had a $2000 budget to spend at IKEA. There are three other bedrooms in the competition and visitors can vote for their favorite room as well as win the contents of it.
The inspiration for our space was from the colours in a small carpet, which became the headboard of the bed and a cushion on the sofa. Despite a few out of stock items (like the sleeper sofa) the install went pretty well. The folks in charge of the show were very helpful and so was IKEA.
The timelaps was created by Philippe Clairo, a great photographer who also provided the light house photograph in our room.
If you are reading this prior to September 25, 2011… hurry up and go to the show to vote.
Look at these fabulous 360 visuals. And one more created by Philippe Photography.
