Kanye West is always coming up with fresh ideas and wants to collaborate with this best companies in the business — this time IKEA. Last night on BBC Radio 1, he talked to host Annie Mac about a range of different topics in his career, including his wish to design products such as beds and chairs for the Swedish furniture store.
This is what Kanye had to say:
“I have to work with IKEA – make furniture for interior design, for architecture. Yo IKEA, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes.”
Now, just a day later, a spokesperson for IKEA has responded with a statement to CNBC, politely declining Kanye’s wish to collaborate.
“At IKEA we are constantly curious about different people, companies, artists and events around the world. To have these connections and inspiring meetings is an important way for us to find new ways to create a better everyday life for the many people. Although we are really flattered by Kanye West’s high interest in IKEA and the speculation around a joint venture, we have no plans to collaborate at this point in time.”
Maybe next year, Yeezy.
