I love IKEA (don’t we all?), but the work of following the step-by-step instructions to build a lamp isn’t something I love as much. But Surtido de Mutaciones has taken the idea of IKEA DIY and changed it up.
Surtido de Mutaciones is a collection of artists who are all given IKEA furniture that needs assembly and are left to create whatever they want with it. It’s interesting to see what IKEA furniture can become with creativity (and a bit more patience than I have).
