Customize Your Ikea furniture with Mykea
Mykea is a Dutch company that lets you personalize your Ikea furniture. According to the company, “We are now the company that enables everybody to customize their Ikea furniture and thereby giving their interior a trendy look and making their homes more personal and unique with the MyKea Design Covers.” The covers, giant stickers, can be made for a number of furniture pieces. You could take your own design or buy one from a designer. Once you order a piece it is delivered to you and you can stick the cover on your furniture.
Designers can participate and earn money by uploading designs and selling them on the site. The company aims to create a community and the website is very slick and easy to use. I wonder if they”ll stick to the covers or offer more services such as painting or even more fundamental customization. Previously several groups of artists and designers were involved in more radical customization with Ikea furniture with Hacking Ikea projects. Do check out the Gynea chair if you visit the Hacking Ikea site.
