Classic Case
Assembling Ikea furniture is indisputably a rite of passage into adulthood. And here’s betting your university textbooks were housed in the ubiquitous “Billy” bookcase.
In honour of its 30th anniversary (41 million sold and counting), the design has been reinterpreted with the Billy Bjästa, adorned with images inspired by Japanese manga, and the Billy Jäder, peppered with love-themed quotations from Shakespeare: “If music be the food of love, play on.”
The latter (pictured, $99.99), with its cool graffiti-inspired look and its ode to Will in love is our pick.
First loves, heartaches, agony and Ikea—it’s like we’re 18 all over again.
