Ikea brings the living room outside We hear this guerrilla campaign for Ikea is the work of Deutsch. As with the folks at Curbed, to whom we are indebted for this post, we're not sure how the couches and curtains don't get stolen off the streets and bus stops where they are appearing, but it'll be fun as long as it lasts. —Posted by Catharine P.

Reminds me a lot of the Herman's Furniture outdoor campaign Pagano did about ten years ago.

Sometimes it's obvious when someone is trying too hard.

This is the case with this campaign.

Seriously, how do the pillows not get stolen?! Maybe everything is bolted or sewn down... hah

I would have liked this a lot better if the sofa wasn't so butt-ugly. Who did the design, Charo?

The reason why the sofa ISNT stolen is that BUTT-UGLY charo design!!

This reminds me of the campaign they did a few years ago, in NYC, where they had a entire apartment (in real furniture) on the side of a building in times square... does anyone have a photo of that they can link to???
