The IKEA sleepover event



The IKEA sleepover was an event held at the end of November which brought 100 lucky people, ages 25 and up, to the IKEA store in Essex for a fun-filled night of massages, movies, manicures and of course, slumber. The guests, decked out in their best pajamas, were given goodie bags filled with things like midnight snacks, slippers and eye masks. UK celebrity Sam Faiers, star of ‘The Only Way Is Essex,’ was there to read everyone a bedtime story, and a sleep expert helped participants choose the right mattresses and gave tips on how to get a better night’s sleep.
The unique and customer-focused event was inspired by a Facebook group called ‘I wanna have a sleepover at Ikea.’

The Colima Chairs by Rafael Mayani


The Colima Chairs by Rafael Mayani make many references to Mexico.
A textile pattern, a type of material or a piece’s general shape can all be indicators of its origin, yet few furnishings can boast the abundance of such references, as do these Colima Chairs by Rafael Mayani.
The designer created this set of three seats for Mexico’s pavilion at the World Expo 2012 in Japan. Fitting with the theme of “the Ocean and Coast,” the beautiful state of Colima was selected for ethnic and aesthetic inspiration.




Elaborate weaving techniques, the color integration and the sculptural construction make the loveseat, sofa and single seater bench remarkably unique. The intricate texture, the curving shape and the bright white, pink and red hues represent dancers’ billowing dresses, while the structure of the Colima Chairs by Rafael Mayani takes cues from the monumental petatera bull ring.
