If you’re having trouble putting together your IKEA furniture, you first might want to practice with something smaller. Much smaller, like LEGO sized.
IKEA Australia has released three assembly manuals instructing customers how to construct furniture using LEGO bricks. The collaboration between the two companies includes miniature versions of the KLIPPAN sofa, MALM bed, and GRONLID armchair. Each set is fun and easy to build, so you’ll forget you were ever stressed about your unfinished, life-sized IKEA furniture.
The pieces can then be displayed atop the lids of IKEA’s BYGGLEK storage boxes for all to see. BYGGLEK, also a collaboration between IKEA and LEGO that was launched in October 2020, are customizable boxes that teach children how to be tidier with their toys and are simple and streamlined enough to be displayed in shared spaces. Together, the collections can help kids become more responsible while also helping adults become more imaginative and playful.
“With a strong belief that play makes both the home and the world a better place, IKEA of Sweden AB and the LEGO Group set out to remove barriers to play in daily life, whilst creating a practical yet playful experience that children and adults could enjoy together,” reads and IKEA statement.
