Maybe you can’t afford that bespoke chaise with the walnut legs and expensive upholstery, but that doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to having the same living room as everyone else who shops at IKEA: in an effort to help customers living in tight spaces more options, the Swedish furniture company is introducing what it calls its first “open source” furniture.
IKEA says it will start selling a sofa that’s designed with customization in mind in early 2018, The Wall Street Journal reports: the Delaktig — Swedish for “being part of something” — has an aluminum frame and a slatted base, much like IKEA’s basic flat-packed bed.
