Anti IKEA Van Den Puup
IKEA’s arch enemies the Elite Designers are really double agents.
In October 2004 the world was introduced to Van Den Puup, a pretentious Eurotrash designer of extortionate furniture who declares war on the “big stupid blue place” for their pathetically reasonable prices.
Viewers are directed to the Elite Designers web site, www.elitedesigners.org with the following rant:
“We are the Elite Designers. We design profound and beautiful furniture for those with wealth and taste. Which is why IKEA makes us furious, livid and angry. Do their designs live, breathe and growl? Are they born from tears of pain? Do they gently touch the bottom of the human soul? Pah! Of course not, no more than weeds can attract a bee. The big blue place is odious, its affordable design is sickeningly shallow and we loathe it even more than we loathe football. Please join us in our unqualified hatred.”
The bad news is that it appears as though Ikea has finished its deal with British advertising firm Karmarama. According to Brand Republic, Karmarama lost the UK contract in May this year in favour of Danish firm, Robert Boisen & Like Minded, (RBLM).
The good news is that all five TV adverts are still online at www.elitedesigners.org:
Monday Cabinet, Bedroom, Meaningless Bed, Bedside Cabinet, and Wardrobe.

oh grow up! dont be mad at Ikea because you have no skill. Ikea is a multi-billion world-wide corporation, are what are you, nothing??!! i do not see any of your multi-billion, corporate stores; wait, thats because you dont have any! so grow up and quit your crying! if you want to complain about anybody, you need to look in a mirror first!
Hatred is a great thing because it usually spawns ideas for change.
