IKEA is going to sell Solar Panels.
Just at IKEA this weekend. I have to say that I have a love hate relationship with this Modern Design Mecca for the Masses.
As much as I love to let my imagination run wild pondering design ideas, I hate doing the globe trotter moves trying to avoid other customers.
I would pay to see the homes of some of the “design conscious” middle americans who get excited over a $ .99 plastic serving spoon.
That’s right, $ .99 - full price, not a sale.
Ya, I know. Good design is overwhelming.
(if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m talking about you)
Did you know: IKEA is involved with Pre-Fab Housing (above photo).
FYI: IKEA was founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad in Sweden and it is owned by a Dutch-registered foundation controlled by the Kamprad family. IKEA is an acronym comprising the initials of the founder’s name (Ingvar Kamprad), the farm where he grew up (Elmtaryd), and his home county (Agunnaryd, in Småland, South Sweden). Via Wikipedia

5 more months of keeping my mouth shut and doing what I’m told.
(Actually, probably the rest of my life. We are having a girl.)
“ Your job as a designer is to solve a problem, not make art, prove a point, serve your ego or break a boundry.

I agree.
Chicago Storm & Cub Fans
Great Quote from a Chicago Tribune article about the Cub’s game and the big storm tonight.
“A couple of fans ran on the field and started body sliding on the tarp. There were oohs and aahs from the crowd as thunder and spectacular lightning crackled in the sky.”

Ok, I was a little nervous.
