Products From IKEA and the Things That Share Their Names

Doubtless you are aware that IKEA Furniture tends to have Scandinavian (read: bizarre) names. If you weren’t aware, well, they do, and although they can be pretty hilarious in their own right, we here at Geekosystem thought a little juxtaposition was in order. IKEA has their own clever little naming process and in tribute, we approached matters in a similar matter. First, take the name of a piece of IKEA furniture (preferably one that sounds funny), plug it into a Google Image search, grab the most hilarious picture on the first page, stick the pictures together and slap the name on it. Easier than IKEA assembly, that’s for sure. Try it at home and see what you can come up with. See the rest of the hilarious results after the jump.

    Well of course, the products are named after things by category.

    Of course you’re going to get men if you search for a man’s name, haha.

    Haha! As a speaker of the bizarre language I can add some comments: Micke is Micke Dubois a.k.a. Svullo, a crude comedian who unfortunately killed himself. Flort should be Flört, in english Flirt. I also tried to google the computer desk “Jerker” and got lots of pictures of the desk but also of Homo of the Year.
