and present Ikea products and synthesise your analysis into the next generation of Ikea products.
REVISED BRIEF:
This project proposes a foldable, flat-pack desk designed for modern homes where space and budget are limited. Inspired by IKEA’s values of functionality, affordability, and clean Scandinavian aesthetics, the desk expands to provide a practical work-from-home setup and folds away to free up space when not in use. It follows IKEA’s flat-pack and self-assembly principles, using cost-effective, sustainable materials to offer a compact, user-friendly solution for flexible living.
