IKEA Canada is celebrating 60 years of the IKEA Catalogue by asking Canadians to “Capture” their favourite page from the 2011 IKEA Catalogue. Launching this week, the catalogue campaign also introduces the home furnishings retailer into the social media world with the launch of a Canadian Twitter (@IKEA_Canada) and Facebook page. A new iPhone app where IKEA customers will be able to view the new catalogue from their iPhone or iPad is also scheduled to launch in the coming weeks.

IKEA, the renowned Swedish furniture and home decorations chain, has created a divine tree sculpture, which will appear at Barbican Center in London on August 12. The unique installation was made by IKEA designers and artists to pay tribute to inspiration and unconventional thinking, which underlay the work by any person of art as well as people behind innovative designs for sustainable home appliances.

To promote the release of its new catalog, IKEA launched a series of spots, “Hooray for the everyday!”, which showcase simple but lovely moments of everyday routine, which actually make us happy with our life. The 2011’s issue celebrates the 60-th anniversary of the company’s annual consumer catalog and as usual focuses on what brings sheer joy to people around the world.
