READYKEA.
Revolution to Smash Global Capitalism - Exhibition Design at Cabaret Voltaire Zurich.
Only Capitalism can smash Capitalism. With this assumption, the exhibition "Revolution to Smash Global Capitalism" at Cabaret Voltaire Zurich was designed to hack IKEA's customer satisfaction policy resulting in zero costs and zero waste for the exhibition.
Indeed, the exhibition scenography is entirely made thanks to the use of IKEA's Trofast boxes, temporarily assembled with zip ties. In this way, the zip ties are afterwards cut off. The boxes were taken back to the store for reimbursement, profiting from the customer satisfaction policy, according to which the exhibition was scheduled.
