IKEA Museum Customization

For IKEA, Pop49 Inc delivered a unique customization project with a Popup IKEA Museum, blending vintage aesthetics with modern interactive elements. Our team enhanced the museum experience by introducing custom shelving, RFID technology, and nostalgic paper prints, bringing IKEA’s history and brand story to life in a captivating way. Leveraging both custom-built elements and IKEA components, we created a space that was immersive, educational, and visually impactful.

Key Elements of the IKEA Museum Customization:

  • Vintage Paper Prints
    To honor IKEA’s rich design heritage, we created and installed a series of vintage-inspired paper prints that featured classic IKEA catalog pages, advertisements, and design sketches. These prints were carefully curated to evoke nostalgia and give visitors a visual journey through IKEA’s evolution. Each print was framed and displayed throughout the museum, enhancing the storytelling experience and creating a warm, retro ambiance.
  • RFID-Enhanced Shelf Accents
    Integrating RFID technology, we crafted interactive shelf accents that allowed visitors to engage with the displays in a meaningful way. By incorporating RFID triggers into the shelving, visitors could access additional information about each item or exhibit.
  • Custom Shelving with IKEA Components
    To ensure consistency with IKEA’s aesthetic while adding a unique touch, we designed custom shelving using a mix of IKEA components and Pop49’s craftsmanship. The shelves were tailored to fit the museum’s layout, providing a modern, organized display solution that seamlessly integrated with the museum’s overall design. Each shelf offered flexibility in showcasing items, while the mix of custom-built elements and IKEA parts maintained the brand’s recognizable, minimalist style.

Our customization of the IKEA Museum allowed visitors to engage with IKEA’s story in a fresh, interactive way, combining nostalgia with modern technology and design. This immersive environment captured the essence of IKEA’s brand and provided a memorable experience for all who visited.
