@ikeacurtains @OneGrenouille @AndrewR_physics I bought some really stylish cream ones with a grey and taupe design 10 years ago. They’re still looking fab.
IKEA gets a lot of stick for producing unsustainable #FastFurniture, but we’ve got (affordable) furniture and lamps that are design classics, 20-30 years old.
Having said that, an hour in an IKEA store makes me want to scream into the void 😱

“Fast furniture is more likely to get damaged when you move it around in a U-Haul,” said @sebastienlong @staylodgeur. “That’s why we leave it inside the apartment and instead move people in and out.” story by @debra_kamin https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/31/realestate/fast-furniture-clogged-landfills.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #FastFurniture #MobileDwelling

Europas letzter Urwald fällt

In Rumänien wird illegal abgeholzt und der Lebensraum von Braunbären, Wölfen und Luchsen zerstört. Die Holzfirmen sehen in den Wäldern nur eines: wertvolles Holz, das billig zu haben ist.
