Comment RSSBoKlok: Swedish For House in A Box - From Ikea
30.01.08 # 9:16 # Current Affairs, Uncategorized # One CommentSwedish company Ikea has a new product on the market. BoKlok (pronounced boo-klook), the “flat-pack” house, is now being exported to the UK. These blocky looking residences have been around for for some time in Sweden; however Ikea, along with construction company Skanska, has decided to branch out into other markets.
The BoKlok, which translates roughly as”smart living” is expected to have a selling price of around US$200,000. It can be customized with an Ikea kitchen and one could even fill it with all Ikea furniture. For the time being, these houses will only be available in Sweden and The UK.
Now anyone can build their own home with just a hex key (Allen wrench). You’ll receive a large bag of bolts and screws and a two page “easy-to-follow” instruction book; then, in no time at all, your house will be ready to move into. However, if you end up with a few spare pieces, you may want to stay off the second floor.
