Navigating an IKEA store can be a true test of any couple’s bond. If you’re heading to IKEA with a partner, brace yourself for at least a couple of light disputes. And if you manage to escape the store without conflict, just wait until you try to make sense of those cryptic instruction manuals for your new furniture.
Enter comedian Larry McFarlane, who cleverly designed a “Relationship Rescue Station” to help couples survive their IKEA adventures while keeping their affection intact. Known for his clever public art projects, McFarlane’s latest creation aims to inject humor into the often stressful shopping experience.
The sign at the station humorously states, “Shopping can be a challenge. Here are 5 quick ways to relieve tension with your partner.” Honestly, the first suggestion should probably be, “Just leave IKEA right now!”
“I’ve navigated the depths of the IKEA labyrinth,” McFarlane told Home Insemination Kit, “and I’m fortunate to have come out mostly unscathed.” So here are some lighthearted tactics to help you cope while you search for that elusive throw pillow.
“Take out your frustration on this adorable miniature horse instead of each other.” Is that tiny horse offering advice on how to reach the wine glasses we came for? Did it just suggest we cut through the children’s furniture section? Clearly, that horse is not helping, but it’s amusing nonetheless.
The quest for the perfect cups can feel like an epic saga. Where are those cups? Why do the arrows on the floor lead to nowhere? Why is my cart overflowing with plastic plants and rugs I didn’t plan to buy? And where on earth did my partner disappear to?
My companion has vanished into the cafe for Swedish meatballs while I’m left to navigate this endless maze. Can you lend a hand here, tiny horse?
You’ll never manage to assemble that wall unit. Just stop looking at it. Blows bubbles into my partner’s face.
McFarlane set up this whimsical station at his local IKEA in Burbank, California, and it’s high time IKEA installed these at every store. Anything that makes the journey through that wallet-draining maze a little smoother would be a welcomed addition.
