IKEA Subway Display in Paris : An Insane Idea or A Genius Promotion Campaign? 

From 10 to 24 March 2010, IKEA develops an interesting event in four important metro stations in Paris. Furniture collections are currently displayed in high-traffic spots, giving the potential customers a chance to interact with the brand by checking out the products. The subway walls are also filled with prints that showcase IKEA interiors. What a creative way to do advertising! Moreover, this action completely changes the way the Paris subway station look and creates a cool atmosphere. Imagine waiting for the train n a comfortable sofa! We are certain this is the sort of event that French people will talk of for years to come. What do you think of this idea?

    This is a very great idea. But it could not be applied in densely populated areas like china an india.. I feel funny thinking in that way….

    didn’t like it. some comments already mentioned the reasons: fire risk, lack of space, downgrade of the brand. and i love ikea design, but it does not match the style of the Paris metro stations, at all.
    no, no, no.

    Most amazing .Reaching out to the consumer in his environment and making an impact in the place where you would be least expected to be seen.

    That’s so cool! Although it would never work here in Los Angeles. All that beautiful furniture would probably be destroyed over night. Haha.

Aunque para la empresa no es más que una ingeniosa estrategia de marketing, el hecho de desplazar elementos de un espacio privado a un espacio público genera un contexto borroso que simbólicamente, nos sirve para reflejar sobre los límites entre público y privado, la ocupación del espacio público, el acceso a la vivienda, y por supuesto, la comodidad del mobiliario urbano… //Más fotos en freshhome [...]
