IKEA HACKA is the future kitchen that bridges the gap between the hacking movement and the modular systems of today. Its flexibility helps people to create their own solutions, and makes it easy for them to “hack” it to suit their unique needs and style. The concept was exhibited at #IKEAtemporary in Milan during the Milan Design Week 2015.
In 2013, IKEA started a project called “Concept Kitchen 2025” together with IDEO, Lund University School of Industrial Design and Eindhoven University of Technology, to explore how the kitchen of the future might look like. The students were asked to explore our behaviours around food and cooking - and envision the future kitchen built for those needs. One of the most obvious and growing trends that the Lund University students Linus Hagberg, Philipp Süssmann and Niklas Papen recognised was that people want to modify products to make them their own.
