Let’s face it, Scandinavian design from IKEA has changed the way we furnish our homes. It’s affordable, functional, and timeless. But with its immense popularity came one catch: when you walk into the living rooms of your friends, coworkers, or neighbors, you often get a sense of déjà vu. The Klippan sofa, the Strandmon armchair, and the iconic Poäng have become mass-market staples.

And it was precisely from the desire to avoid having a cookie-cutter home that a global phenomenon was born: IKEA Hacking.

Why do we enjoy “hacking” mass-market design?

IKEA Hacking isn’t just about DIY. It’s an expression of a lifestyle. People no longer want to be mere consumers of fleeting trends; they want to create. They long for a home that has soul and reflects their own creativity.

We want something original that no one else has.

• Why buy overpriced designer furniture when you can take a great, structurally sound base from IKEA and take it to the next level?

   

  The best way to protect the planet is not to throw away things that still work great. All an older or slightly worn-out sofa needs is a fresh new look.

   

  When mass-produced forms meet original art

   

  At Artefly, we work with this phenomenon every day. Our goal is to take the most popular furniture designs you have at home and give them a completely uncompromising designer look. The best part is that you don’t have to do any complicated assembly, sanding, or painting. All it takes is a simple upholstery swap.

   

  Proof of this can be found in our two latest collections, each of which approaches this “hacking” from a different angle:

   

  The UFO Collection

  The UFO Collection (e.g., for the Klippan or Strandmon models) transforms a mass-produced piece into a minimalist, artistic standalone piece. Delicate, linear hand-drawn lines, geometrically arranged in a circular grid, create a pulsating energy in the space. The timeless black-and-white aesthetic ensures that your sofa will immediately stand out from the crowd while maintaining the clean lines of a Scandinavian interior.

COLORED PUFF Collection

If you want to bring warmth and retro elegance into your home, the COLORED PUFF collection is the perfect solution. The square grid in subtle red and green tones creates the perfect optical illusion of textured upholstery. The iconic Poäng armchair or Klippan sofa instantly look like luxury pieces from a design boutique, even as they retain their legendary comfort.

Quality That Gives Upcycling Meaning

For IKEA Hacking to make sense, the result must be of higher quality than the original. That’s why we sew our covers in the European Union from premium, heavyweight 100% cotton with a tight twill weave. We use eco-friendly digital printing certified to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, so the colors stay vibrant even after many washes, and the fabric is completely safe for children and pets.

Don’t be a copy. Be an original. Your home is your canvas.
