Default The future of DIY

"If IKEA did DIY"

I wonder...

But would you buy a power tool called a "Yørgalwånk"...


Ikea in Bristol probably sell them.

Fairly often now, there have been outbreaks of creatively reproduced,
and beautifully printed, product labels appearing throughout the
store. Some have been genuine barcodes for the thing in question (but
you'll think forever afterwards that you really did buy a "Knøbjøckey"
lampshade), others have been for a generic plastic bogbrush, a giant
sofa or something very obviously wrong.

No-one knows if it's punters or staff doing it. But it's a very
Bristol sort of thing.
