Concept: IKEA Planner

What if IKEA gave you a digital tool that understood the dimensions of your room?

The idea: a simple planner where users set their floor plan, and IKEA furniture fits right into it.

Problem

The existing online space planners gave users too many tools. Building a complex floor plan with them was harder than it needed to be.

Build floor plans with geometric shapes.

The floor plan, by combining shapes, is more effortless than outlining.

Users can build infinite shapes.

Scaling, rotating, and snapping shapes to the grid system saves the user time.

After the user assembles the master shape, Emplace automatically generates a floor plan according to the dimensions entered.

When the user drags a selected IKEA furniture, the application projects its footprint on the floor.

Buying from IKEA is really buying a living experience for your space. You can find paper measuring tape in every store because IKEA knows customers need room dimensions to shop well. Why not bring both the room information and IKEA's solutions into one digital tool? Visualizing the space helps you pick the right fit and plan holistically.

The best shopping experience starts at home. 2010/09/13
