IKEA Hacker

Each time the name of IKEA appears on Design Addict, there are voices which rise to attack or defend the Swedish firm.
To the clans of IKEA lovers and IKEA haters, one apparently has to add IKEA hackers, already present since a while on the Web. On Ikeahacker, speakers share their experiments of customisation and diversion of IKEA furniture.
The level is very irregular, but some ideas are worth the visit.

Adam from Boston posted this cheap but functional laptop desk, hacked from IKEA's Benjamin stool.

This sofa table was made from bamboo plywood and salvaged legs from IKEA's Imfors table.

Another poster used inexpensive Regolit lamp from IKEA, some wool and some glue to create lamps inspired by the beautiful MOOOI’s Random lamps.
