IKEA has several initiatives to make their products and operations more sustainable. Among those that have been introduced is a manual that allows existing furniture to be modified into other furniture. They are now showcasing some new designs through their Space10 design lab.
This series of furniture called Updatables can be recycled to become another product after the user no longer wants to use it like the original design. IKEA envisions in the future applications with augmented reality (AR) technology can scan existing furniture before making new design recommendations.
With this when old furniture no longer wants to be used or is no longer suitable for space in the house, the components can be removed and reconnected as if Lego to become another product that is more compatible with the new needs.
