pHelmut Smit is our new favorite artist/designer, even if a href=”http://helmutsmits.nl/design/flamma”FLAMMA/a was the only project he’d ever done (it isn’t, by the way, and they are all stellar). This brilliant Ikea Hack “harks back to one of humanity’s basic needs: making fire.” As Ikea does not sell matches or lighters, Smits has taken cues from the wartime necessity of burning furniture to keep warm, and created a fire from an Ikea rope, hanger, wine rack, egg cup, napkins, and floral embellishments. /p

pThe video above is worth every minute, not to mention a good lesson in building fires, an art lost on most of us./p
