Ikea furniture comes to life once again in new ads by The Monkeys

Everyday household items enjoy a game of hide and seek in The Monkeys’ latest work for Ikea, which continues the brand’s ‘The Best Day is Everyday’ campaign.

The campaign initially launched last year and aims to make heroes of the Ikea furniture items while celebrating daily home life.

 

In this iteration of the campaign, “the grandkids” (stools) are playing a game of hide and seek, while “the grandfather” (a snoring pillow) sleeps.

Swedish actress Lena Endre appears in the ad by narrating the slogan ‘the best day is everyday’.

Barb Humphries, creative director at The Monkeys, said: “Summer is a time for play, as well as for having afternoon naps. With Ikea, there’s plenty of room for both.”

In March, the brand released ads which featured sheepskin rugs living with their pet stool.

The latest campaign will be broadcast on TV and online, and will be supported by Ikea-owned channels.
