The following IKEA hacks are research projects into the furniture industry. The aim of each project was to add value through
either recreation, using reclaimed materials or repurpose into something completely new.

IVAR Hack
IVAR Hack
In this project, 20 year old IKEA IVAR shelving, salvaged from my grandmas loft has been used to recreate new furniture.
The design for the furniture was taken from autoprogettazione an open-source DIY furniture guide designed by Enzo Mari in 1974.
Full credit to Greg Allen for the idea.

To celebrate Piet Hein Eek’s IKEA chair, I’ve reproduced it entirely from reclaimed wood to the same dimensions.
This process was inspired by Piet’s work, that focuses on the appreciation of waste materials through his original scrap wood
furniture. The aim of this was to challenge mass-production in the furniture industry.

In this second series of IKEA hacks. Rather than recreating new furniture, IKEA's dimensions and fixings were used to
replicate an existing ODDVAR stool. One stool was made from found hardwood, one from particleboard found in an IKEA free wood bin,
and two stools made by cutting each component of the IKEA stool in half.
