Kusukela ekuguquleni ithebula legumbi lokudlela lezinkuni elishibhile libe isiteshi sokukhiqiza esiphezulu ukuya ekuguquleni izingxenye zesibani zibe izinto ezikhanyayo ezihlakaniphile, zimbalwa kakhulu izinto ezingeke zenziwe ngomugqa womkhiqizo onwetshiwe we-IKEA nengqondo yokudala. Naphezu komphakathi okhulayo wabaduni be-IKEA, nokho, inkampani ayikaze ikhuthaze ngokusemthethweni lawa ma-hacks-empeleni, baze bathumela incwadi yokumisa nokuyeka kwenye yezindawo ezidume kakhulu zokugebenga ze-IKEA.
Hhayi-ke, konke lokho sekuzoshintsha manje.
Ngokwethulwa kwe-Delaktig yabo (i-Swedish “yokuba yingxenye yokuthile”) inkundla evulekile eklanywe ngokubambisana nomklami u-Tom Dixon, inkampani ekugcineni yamukela ukugetshengwa kwemikhiqizo yayo ngohlelo lwayo oluklanyelwe ukwenza lokho kanye.
Yize lo mqondo uvezwa okokuqala ngonyaka odlule, bekungakacaci ukuthi uzoqala nini ukudayiswa, noma ngabe umdondoshiya wefenisha waseSweden ubewuthathela phezulu lo mqondo. Yebo, banjalo-futhi isigaba sokuqala sohlu lomkhiqizo we-hackable flat-pack sihlelelwe ukuthengiswa ekuqaleni kuka-2018 futhi sizoba nenani eliphakathi kwama-$399 nama-$899. Futhi iqala ngesistimu yohlaka lwe-aluminium ukuthi imikhiqizo yefenisha ye-IKEA yesikhathi esizayo izohambisana nayo.
Ngokwale nkampani, bafuna ukwakha ifenisha enezinjongo eziningi futhi evumelana nezidingo ezivame kakhulu zokuphila kwabantu emadolobheni, lapho abantu bengase bafune ukuhlela kabusha ukwakheka kwemizi yabo ngaphandle kokuthenga ifenisha entsha. Phela, ngemikhiqizo eminingi eyimpumelelo ye-Kickstarted kanye nesithakazelo esikhulayo ezimpahleni zasekhaya ezingagetshengwa, akuzange kube nengqondo?
Yize kuzothakazelisa ukubona ukuthi abathengi bahumusha kanjani uhlelo, akukho ukuphika ukuthi emhlabeni wamapulatifomu avuleka ngokwandayo, sekwephuzile kungcono kunanini ngaphambili.
Thola okwengeziwe ngale phrojekthi, eyenziwe ngokwengxenye ngokusebenzisana nabafundi baseRoyal College of Art, ngale kokuthi IKEA.
