Mykea
Mykea formed as a way to customize IKEA furniture so it wouldn’t end up looking like everyone else’s. They tapped the creative skills of their artist friends to come up with designs for their naked furniture which they turned into stickers. They launched the company and their vinyl designs give plain furniture an easy and fun facelift.
