IKEA, the 10th Circle of Hell

November 26, 2021 By Hannah Raisner, FSU '25

“It’s fitting that IKEA stores are organised in a series of winding circles with no easy escape. It’s not unlike the circles of hell that the protagonist of Dante’s Inferno must wander before heading on to Purgatory and then Heaven.

But unlike the soul in Dante’s epic poem, you never get to Heaven. What awaits you once you’ve managed to locate and then purchase your Tuffing and Malfors is yet another circle of hell. This one is in your own home and the instrument of torture is an Allen key.”    –Kasey Edwards, The Sydney Morning Herald, July 15, 2019

“Our Dante Wall Mirror is the definition of minimalistic style. With the idea that “less is more,” this mirror features a long, oval shape and is partially trimmed in a flat, stainless steel frame in a striking polished rose gold. This design provides a contemporary flair that is sure to be that conversation piece.”    –Overstock

“Aged leather and rounded edges are the hallmarks of our Dante collection, which adds an Art Moderne touch to any space. Metal legs and hardware finish off its classic, ’30s machine-age look. Slight differences in color and texture are characteristics of this collection’s aged leather.

“**Natural variations in this material may occur. Slight differences in color and texture are characteristics of this collection’s aged full-grain leather. This durable, high quality leather may show inherent markings, distressed appearance, and variations in pattern.**
