Ikea parodies tech obsession with launch of its 2015 catalogue in Singapore and Malaysia

Ikea has launched its 2015 print catalogue in Singapore and Malaysia with a parody of digital technology and how people use it.

In a demonstration video, created by BBH, the “power of the Bookbook” is unveiled. The video, housed on an Ikea microsite, explains that the Bookbook comes with ‘The Original Touch Interface’, an ‘Eternal Battery Life’ and pages that ‘load instantly, with zero lag’.

The campaign to promote the ‘life enhancing devise’ is also to run with full-page newspaper and 6-sheet outdoor, radio and cinema ads.

The brand’s regional marketing manager Yeong Tze Kuen, said: “Like we say in the campaign, at IKEA we feel that technology that is this life enhancing should be in the hands of everyone. We invite you to download one from your mailbox. The one you open the IKEA store and find one there.”
