Re: IKEA Living Room Photo: IKEA KLIPPAN: Thirty years of durable style

Amazing how different it looks, and kind of scary what was popular back when I was a kid .

Same sofa, same priorities but with about 1/2 the price today compared to when it was introduced?!

Re: IKEA Living Room Photo: IKEA KLIPPAN: Thirty years of durable style

it's a timeless couch ... pretty amazing that 30 years later it can be offered at 1/2 the price it was introduced at ... is that price real $ - or adjusted $ for inflation/deflation ??? regardless ... it's amazing!

Re: IKEA Living Room Photo: IKEA KLIPPAN: Thirty years of durable style

The "1/2 the price it was 30 years ago" is adjusted for inflation. But like you said, for the price to have gone DOWN so much over 30 years is pretty impressive.

I was really happy with the way the blog post came out too .

Here's more kooky Klippan covers!

Designer covers for a charity auction.
Circles by Akira Isogawa is nice.

I LOVED the Magnetic KLIPPAN! That's so cool, magnetic furniture... Just think! an entire living room filled with furniture that you can stick things too!

::pause::

::image of all the stuff that gets stuck to refriderators::

Err... Maybe not!

The Magnetic KLIPPAN is still extremely cool though.

Really? I wonder how many bored people sat on them kind of mentally figuring out what would fit together best .

Re: IKEA Living Room Photo: IKEA KLIPPAN: Thirty years of durable style

Would like to see the prices drop over the last 30 years! How many guilders would I have paid 30 years ago? Or better, how many weeks allowance would I need to buy it?

And, although I am not a football (soccer) fan, in 2004 (?) there was even a football field design!

Can you link to a larger version of the photo. I'd like to print it out poster size and frame it.
