2011 IKEA Catalogue [gender analysis]

Posted on 2010/08/22 by Mia in DECOR PHILOSOPHY

Words are really superfluous…..but: trendey not only care about styling and trends, we’re on a gender mission! Nah, not really. But home decor / interior design is gender-relevant. It’s not only women who like it. Not just women who have taste… Not only women live in homes (!) Not only women are parents. Not only girls helps to set the table. IKEA catalogue 2011 – you are hereby gender approved.

    Hi Hanna!

    Great to hear from you! Yes….gender concerns in toilet politics can have odd results :p I don’t remember exactly, but aren’t the toilets at IKEA (at least here in Sweden, or at Kungens Kurva which is my point of reference) divided into Women’s, Men’s and Handicap (RWC) and all of those, men’s included!, have baby changing sections? I really need to investigate this next time I go there :)
