Meatball scented candles bring home the IKEA smell

A candle that smells like meatballs?

At the back of my head, I’m thinking this is a huge departure from the collaboration with Ben Gorham, which resulted in the OSYNLIG collection, an artful range of 13 scents.

But strangely this meatball candle got me more excited than Mr. Gorham’s concoctions.

IKEA created the HUVUDROLL Meatball Scented Candles to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of IKEA Family, the company’s loyalty programme. The goal is to bring the iconic smell from the store to your living room. Hmm … I’m not sure I want a lingering beefy scent in my home but TBH I’m curious whether it smells like the real thing. Aren’t you?

“For many people, one of the first things that comes to mind when they think of IKEA is their delicious and affordable Swedish meatballs,” Sho Matsuzaki, creative director at Ogilvy, which spearheaded the creative project with IKEA, told The NY Post. “There’s no other furniture brand out there with a food offering that has such a strong following. So for the IKEA Family 10-year anniversary, we thought it would be fitting to create something unexpected that our IKEA Family members and meatball super-fans would love. And yes, it does very much smell like IKEA meatballs.”

It’s not the first time IKEA used their famous meatballs in a promotion. In April 2020 IKEA released its signature recipe with the cooking steps depicted in its usual assembly instruction drawings.

Nor are they a stranger to experiences packed in a box. Last August, IKEA UAE came up with a fun staycation idea — Vacations in a Box — to bring a little wanderlust into your home.

Go take part and if you win, let me know whether the meatball scented candles evokes the IKEA feeling.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
