25m^2: Ikea replicates Syrian refugee home as outreach project
by kleinbl00
Always on the cutting edge of design, assembly and corporate conscience, IKEA converted a showroom to replicate an actual Syrian home in Damascus: 25-square meters of cinder block walls and meager furnishings.
At IKEA Slependen, the retailer’s flagship store in Norway, the lack of food, medicine and clean water in Syrian homes was communicated through the use of images and an appeal for a fundraising campaign to aid refugees by the Red Cross.
