The premise behind Surtido de Mutaciones is pretty interesting…Basically that IKEA is actually a supplier of raw materials, rather than of finished products. They challenged 35 designers to go to IKEA and to come up with new products that used existing IKEA parts. Everything used in their products had to come from IKEA, including screws, seats, screens, etc.

They range from simple reinventions to elaborate light fixtures. Seeing these really inspires one to get out and try their hand at recombining pieces, because at Ikea prices, what’s stopping you anyway?
