IKHA pop-up restaurant
IkHa is a dining experience in which the concept of IKEA has been dismantled and
translated into a restaurant interior. It´s not a self-service restaurant in the usual sense
of the word. Instead, visitors are invited to participate and customize their surroundings
while dining.
IkHa is based on the showroom of IKEA itself. A maze of shelves and rooms to
navigate, often multiple times as one reconsiders their choices, and then arrives home
with their flat-packed goods to begin the assembly process.
Guests fill in their ordering forms with pencils and dinner is served on trays, delivered to
the furniture construction at which they´ve chosen to sit. Visitors can create their table
setting from a selection of materials and cut their own tablecloth or placemat from a
selection of wallpapers, ready to measure and cut.
One of IKEA slogans is “Big ideas for small spaces”, an important aspect of the IkHa
restaurant. Everything is collapsible and fold-able and when not in use can be quickly
broken down to fit within a two square meter space. This makes it ideal for temporary
solutions, events, and festivals.
