Cristina’s Mondrianization of the EXPEDIT

Mondrian Expedit

This “Mondrianization” was done to EXPEDIT units but can also be done to the new KALLAX or to almost any piece of furniture. Cristina added doors to the EXPEDIT unit and then grid lines to the doors. The art of Mondrian is perfect for the boxy EXPEDIT. See the tutorial.

mondrian inspired IKEA jeff chairs

(The JEFF chair is discontinued, but you can do a similar upgrade on a FEJAN outdoor chair)

What about you? Are you planning to Mondrian your IKEA?
