IKEA went beyond the rainbow to create 10 custom Love Seats inspired by 10 different Pride flags. Each Love Seat was created by a designer in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and inspired by the story of someone who identifies with that flag. These custom Love Seats turned a ubiquitous IKEA product into a platform to celebrate identity and spark important conversations about underrepresented communities.
