UNIKEA is the Unique IKEA project by designer Kenyon Yeh. Yeh threw away the instructions for standard IKEA flat pack furniture and assembled the items to create unique personal and customized arrangements.
Of course, Yeh added a few personal details, like the colorful feet, to each creation. Of the Unique IKEA Project, Yeh says, “The process is liberating and brings a limitless attitude of possibility creating unique furniture instead of doing such a thing that made by forces.”
