Curbed have admired some Ikea couch-clad bus stops, the idea sprung from Deutsch/N.Y. and iDeutsch. However, it is far from the first time Ikea went out and funished a city in general and bus stops in particular to make a point.

As all old Badland readers know, there ain't nothing new under the sun. Forsman&Bodenfors have been decorating bus stops for their client Ikea since at least 1999. See adforum examples Red Chair, Blue tools. I'm afraid that I only have images of last years dress-up sunt which was for Ikea textiles, and they dressed up a whole tram!

I'm sure someone else here will recall some dressed up bus stops in London back in 1996 or something now.. I do have some foggy memory of beach chairs and the word "relax"... But the funny here lies in the fact that both bus stops are Ikea ads. :)
