I find it fascinating that people see IKEA as good design. I am a customer and fan of the company, but their sheer size make them levelers of culture and charm eradicators. It is for furniture what McDonald is for local cuisines. IKEA is probably the worst we Scandinavians have done the world since the Vikings; easily beating ABBA. It might even rival the Goth tribes' (claimed origin isn't far from where IKEA started, btw) destruction of West Rome. This was depressing, I'll go support some of the good local music culture (Death/Black Metal) this weekend, to make amends for my ancestors. (Sorry for wasting people's time, but it is Friday and I'm a bit fed up with some specs.)
