Chapter No. 8, Ikea #0797

IKEA, in the Auntieverse, stands for "Interstellar Kawaii Environment for Aunties." It represents a unique furniture showroom planet where only customized interior designs and fittings are available, and modular products are nowhere to be found. IKEA offers a wide range of vibrant colors and unconventional interior spaces. Aunties inhabit and interact with spaces that include creatures, wine, ramps, playrooms, indoor gardens, libraries, wardrobes, and everything else typically found in a furniture and interiors showroom, and more. This chapter is a playful response to the often beige and neutral color palettes offered by the capitalist world, designed to cater to low-risk, mass-market tastes and sales. IKEA in the Auntieverse is an absurd and whimsical dreamland for aunties who seek fun and self-expression. The spaces are customized with a multitude of colors and intricate details, challenging the idea of practicality but igniting imagination about designing one's unique living spaces. It's a chapter that celebrates self-expression and individuality in interior design.
