Provocative billboard ads give Ikea a taste of its own medicine

Vinterior ad mocking Ikea.

Ikea is known for a wry sense of humour in its advertising. It often mocks advertising tropes in general, and it memorably poked fun at Apple in a direct send up several years ago. But now the shoe, or the TÅSJÖN slipper, is on the other foot.

The piece even mentions the famous 'Swedish meatballs' sold at Ikea branches in the UK (see our pick of the best print ads).
