This week, Ikea has decided to give the Paris metro system a little facelift by installing "living spaces" in the metro waiting areas. This was done in efforts to declare to the Parisians that spring cleaning may involve purchasing some new Ikea furniture in lieu of keeping around old and stuffy pieces. Modern living room furniture adorned busy metro stations (Saint-Lazare, Champs Elysées Clémenceau, Concorde, and Opéra) and trompe l'oeil posters of living rooms were plastered behind the colourful sofas and lamps. This project should really put Ikea's furniture quality through the test of time. Although the pieces will only be installed for a week, I wonder if the pieces will uphold to thousands of passengers (and maybe a few homeless people)'s abuse. (!)
