Make furniture not war with IKEA

IKEA encourages to ‘make furniture not war’ during Trump-Kim summit

With the Trump-Kim summit, brands in Singapore have jumped into being part of the action.
Swedish furniture company, IKEA wanted to put a positive spin on the terrifying topic of the Trump-Kim summit: Weapons of mass destruction.
So what better way than with its iconic Allen key that joins together its entire inventory?

This post garnered over 1,800 views and 377 shares in four hours. Created by BBH Singapore, Ikea’ s post comes as the two powers prepare to meet on Sentosa today for a historic meeting.
“Not only is this humble yet powerful tool the key to assembling all good things at IKEA, it’s also a wonderful symbol of unity,” said BBH Singapore creative director Mara Vidal.
