Consumers Of Innovation

We've all come to love IKEA for it's easy-to-build, price sensitive, and stylish furniture. But a recently implemented innovation by IKEA gives us another thing to add to that list, and it's called ThisAbles. What is ThisAbles ? It's a set of furniture hacks that can be downloaded and 3D printed to add functionality to your IKEA products! Originally meant to make their furniture more usable for people with disabilities, many of these ThisAbles would come in handy for all of us. To name a few of these hacks: bigger light switches, easier-to-grab handles and extenders for couch legs. These ThisAbles files can be downloaded, free of charge, anywhere in the world. You then take the file and go to any 3D pringint provider close to you and voila, you have the "Cane by Me" which allows users to have their cane stowed right beside their bed. An awesome, and innovative way for IKEA to live out its vision
