Ikea



The week before last I went to Ikea. Walking up to the familiar blue and yellow box like edifice, it does put you in a certain mood. (fear?/excitement?)


It´s a place that you can live (almost) so it seems natural to eat there (even if it is not a meal time).

I spent about 3 hours immersed, drawing and observing. It´s a kind of chilled out place - people wander about, take off their jackets, feel at home. I got a good few drawings and spent around 6 pounds - I don´t think it is possible to leave without buying something.


I love how there is such an abundance of stuff there. We can all go and buy all the same stuff in their catalogue if we want. We can mix and match and create our own piece of it.
