Description

Us & Our Planet, created in collaboration with IKEA, is an inspirational study that explores how to live more sustainably and well. Based on the experience of both ordinary and extraordinary lives, it shows how small changes at home can positively contribute to sustainability for our planet.

Since the 1950s, IKEA retailers have visited homes worldwide to learn more about how we live. Inspired by this approach, Inter IKEA Systems and Phaidon have joined forces to explore the greatest challenge of our generation—living sustainably—through the lives of activists, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and many more.

Achieving a more sustainable life at home is one of the most pressing social and environmental challenges we face today as a society. Together with IKEA, we visit homes, workplaces, and shared spaces from Mexico to Moscow, Bali to Beirut, in search of ways to improve how we live.

Our everyday actions might seem inconsequential, but the future of our planet starts with us.
