IKEA recreates their 2021 catalog in Animal Crossing
IKEA Taiwan recreated their 2021 catalog in Animal Crossing and the results are pretty good considering the game's limitations. The cleverest is probably this one, where they used a character to stand in for a hanging light and pillow:
It sort of reminds me of when I tried to recreate an IKEA catalog in The Sims. And by recreate, I mean trap each of my Sims in an empty doorless room where they would end up just peeing themselves and crying. What's that? I should see a therapist? You sound just like my parents.
Keep going for more of the recreations.
