Spanish Wording Surprise Party




Hands up who did not say - going on the floor just bought from a friend who just moved - "oh, you also have expedit ? or has not watched with disappointment Photos Flats for rent and discovered that the beds have the same covers as ours! Or, looking nervous in the furniture of the dentist's waiting room, see the Klippan sofa plays the role of king of this space as well as at the entrance of our company, on the ground floor, in front of the reception.

This is the risk of "globalization from home" after the revolution IKEA, due to the amazing success of the Swedish company that provides products pretty good, nice and objectively cheap enough (If you follow the logic of the enterprise, "montatelo yourself").

Against this latest form of globalization, there is a group of people that encourage diversification from the very basic furniture such as IKEA. They are calling themselves the "Pirates of IKEA" and share their creations on the blog http://piratasdeikea.blogspot.com/ . His philosophy is to put on Internet the customizations that users are making the cheap Ikea furniture, making the most, adding minor changes with imagination and creativity, using materials, hardware and a bit of skill and dexterity.

The English blog is inspired by Ikea hacker the first blog dedicated entirely to publish changes Ikea products ( http://ikeahacker.blogspot . com / ), and made searching the web, we see that the Ikea phenomenon has produced more than just long checkout lines or curiosity for the recipe of the famous meatballs. In http://www.positivefanatics.com/ news found inside and outside the world of Ikea, in Ikeafans ( http://www.ikeafans.com/ ), curiosities of all kinds about the company and the world around it and - to our Adviser - too much publicity. The phenomenon has had such resonance that it has even been to Ikea record Heights, a melodrama filmed entirely in the Ikea store in Burbank (California), worthy of the funniest parodies of soap operas (link on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9gkYw35Vws )

ramblings aside, we like the phenomenon of tune and customize a simple, affordable furniture, because with the right dose of creativity and vision of space we can escape from the mundane crowd and create a own home, warm and friendly, where our identities and where we like to come back every day.
