The Thousands

Nothing is more suspicious than people who say they actually like going to IKEA. Those warehouses feel like a well-furnished maze for a lab rat (including the ‘treat’ at the end – hello Swedish meatballs and Daim bars). Here is an alternative: locally made furniture using sustainable formaldehyde-free materials. Evolvex furniture is modular and minimal and they probably have something very practical that you need in your house right now (don’t throw out your allen keys just yet, they’re flat-packed). A pop-up shop will be taking over District 01 where you can look and touch. There won’t be meatballs, but you can buy things by zapping a code with your smartphone so you needn’t even sully your soft hands with hard cash.
