IKEA PS 2014 – Good Design!

I know a lot of people have a love/hate relationship with IKEA. The products are mass-produced and much of the furniture is not necessarily heirloom quality but I think there is a time in most people’s life when that is all you need.  Mass produced or not IKEA product are good design! This IKEA PS 2014 pendant lamp is no exception. This “exploding ” pendant lamp designed by David Wahl and sold at IkEA for $70/50€ is a perfect example of how IKEA makes good design available to the masses.

“With its sphere-like shape and geometric patterns this pendant lamp brings a bright decorative effect to the room. Pull the cord and it opens up to reveal an even more fantastic design.”

But the “exploding” lamp isn’t the only piece of good design in the new PS 2014 collection. With the help of 19 designers ,IKEA has taken inspiration from the way people live today, often in unconventional spaces and never in one place for long and created a line of products that “offer flexible solutions for young-in-mind urban people living “in the moment”.” Ikea
