Swedish home furnishing giant IKEA has recreated a Syrian apartment display in one of its Norway branches, offering customers an experience of life inside a family home at war. The retailer built a show room from cinder block, as part of a fund raising campaign for the Norwegian Red Cross.
IKEA Slependen assembled the display bearing very little home comforts in attempt to base the design on the home of a Syrian woman named Rana and her family of nine, who live just outside Damascus in Syria. IKEA's iconic price tags were placed inside the display, bearing stories of a typical Syrian family's struggles amid the civil war, such as the lack of food, medical supplies and clean water.
