Ikea lined up 30 red BILLY Bookcases on Sydney’s popular Bondi Beach to celebrate the 30th birthday of this signature furniture piece. They even filled the cases with beach reads for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers who could exchange them for one of their own books or buy them making a donation to the Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation.

I know it is still cold outside, but at Ikea they already started with some outdoor inspiration for the spring.

It doesn’t matter if you just have a small city balcony, at Ikea you will find a large range of outdoor furniture in wood, metal or plastic rattan that will fit you. And don’t forget to take a look to the cushions, covers and umbrellas to provide your outdoor retreat with some extra style and comfort.

Merry Preparations! I know it’s a bit early, still two months to go, but Ikea wants you to skip the holiday rush and prepare you home for christmas.

The BILLY Book is a special birthday edition that takes you behind the story of BILLY. An entertaining journey through some of the world events from the past 30 years.

The BILLY Limited Edition Collection includes new bookcases and doors printed with graffiti-style words, and some other great products like the original “B” bookend.

I personally think that the BILLY Book is going to be one of the most wanted items form the BILLY Collection. And what better place to store The Book than in one of BILLY’s Limited Edition Bookcase.
