IKEA Place:

Exploring the future of interfaces and IKEA retail

In the summer of 2017, I joined SPACE10, a future innovation lab in Copenhagen, for a month during which I helped establish the tone-of-voice of the conversational user interface for IKEA’s first augmented reality app: IKEA Place.

While writing the conversations that further enhanced IKEA Place’ ease-of-use, I also helped SPACE10 create a tone-of-voice guideline that could live beyond IKEA Place, with rules applicable to both text-, and voice-based natural interfaces.

A few months after the app’s release, SPACE10 commissioned me to chronicle the making-of one of the first AR apps aimed at the masses in a in-depth long read.

About



For a decade I have tried to help brands, artists and agencies  resonate within the evershifting cultural currents that make up our contemporary lives. As the mediated landscapes shift by the second, it’s often not enough to inflitrate the chatter: instead one has to define the conversation.

This is what I’ve aspired to do ever since joining Droga5 NY, in 2012, and continue to do so today in a freelance capacity with every project I take on; whether in service of studios, agencies, brands, products, musicians, film labels, fashion houses or otherwise.

As a Creative Director I am always creating in collaboration, with the written word as my executionary skill—while also sometimes operating as brand strategist, copywriter, researcher or art director.
