The Ikea Tiny Home Project
Ikea, the iconic ready-to-assemble furniture brand, has teamed up with Vox Creative and RV and tiny home builder Escape Traveler to design and build eco-friendly Ikea tiny homes. (2) The home includes (1):
- Solar panels
- On-demand heated water supply
- Panels made from sustainably-grown pine
- Kitchen cupboards fashioned with recycled bottle tops
It took 60 days to build the tiny home, which is a customized version of one of Escape’s other homes. Moreover, as always with Ikea products, the goal was to make the space both functional and aesthetically pleasing. (2)
According to Escape founder Dan Dobrowolski, partnering with Ikea was a no-brainer.
“We feature many Ikea products in our various tiny home designs around the country, as they mirror the renewable, reusable, and recycled materials we incorporate into the actual structures.” he explained. (2)
Lastly, with plenty of built-in storage, a collapsible desk, and windows to bring in natural light, the Ikea tiny home will give you just as much functional space – if not more – than a typical apartment, and for a fraction of the price. (1)
