What a terrific photo of the new IKEA in Dublin under construction! The store’s actually a LOT farther along than that now. It’s scheduled for its grand opening on July 27th and will be the 301st IKEA worldwide!
Thanks to IKEA Dublin for this image posted on the Facebook page for IKEA Dublin .

IKEA Malaysia and Lowe and Partners, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia have joined forces with a single mission in mind: To bring to life the fact that being organized means saving space. The creative idea was to turn the store’s main staircase into a ‘chest’ of drawers, with everything inside neatly organized, highlighting the efficient use of space in an impactful way.

Lowe and Partners, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This innovative use of space screams IKEA! Mission: Accomplished!
