When the album cover met the Ikea catalogue
It’s time to re-cover those old album covers. And what with all this brand and band stuff going around, clearly a branded makeover is on order.
Welcome then to My Album Cover Lifestyle on Flickr, a collection of classic rock compilation artwork redone as pages of the 2010 Ikea catalogue. If you’re an artist who has featured any kind of furniture and household accessories on your cover, then you are clearly very fair game.
Unsurprisingly, Oasis gets the flatpack branded treatment for slotting couches, curtains, wine glasses and picture frames into the artwork for Definitely Maybe. Anyone for Njoël Norwegian wood veneer flooring?
For just £39 you can have yourself a Birkin chair from Jane’s Rendez-Vous album, which features – what else? – the track In Every Dream Home A Heartache.
And who could resist the Ikea-ised Carla Bruni album No Promises featuring a Kårla floor lamp paired with a Nikølas bookcase? The latter, it seems, can be used with a Raisa height-extension unit. Every Élysée Palace should have one.
