IKEA’S Pride Month Loveseat Collection Goes Viral

IKEA’S Pride Month Loveseat Collection Goes Viral

To celebrate Pride month, Swedish furniture store IKEA has released a collection of 10 loveseats that have been designed and created by artists active in the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

IKEA’S Pride month collection has since gone viral because of the eye-catching and unconventional designs.

The collection was accompanied by a video of people sitting on the Pride loveseats and sharing personal stories about how they identify.

The loveseats are dedicated to the whole sexuality spectrum and each lounge represents a different flag within the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Yes, that means a bisexual loveseat now exists.

The bisexual loveseat was designed by Charlotte Carbone and features the words, “nobody believes you,” and “when you change,” the words are a quote from a poem by Brian Lanigan, who wrote it about his experience of people not believing he was bisexual.

However, the bisexual loveseat is not everyone’s cup of tea, with people sharing their concerns on Twitter.

 

Lanigan took to his Twitter to further explain the meaning behind the IKEA loveseat. He also helpfully changed his Twitter bio to – bisexual couch guy brian.

 

IKEA’S Pride Month collection as a whole has received mixed reactions with some people on Twitter loving it and others feeling the collection didn’t quite work.

These loveseats aren’t available to purchase, but they will exist on the internet forever.
