Existence Maximum – big ideas for small spaces

15 December 2022–3 September 2023

Living big in small spaces is not exactly new to us. Even back in 1995, IKEA had an exhibition in Älmhult called ‘Small Space Living’. Now the future is here, and the majority of the world’s population live in cities, where the need for smart solutions is at its maximum and spaces at their minimum. Existence Maximum includes 14 rooms with inspirational solutions for widely differing purposes – and the rooms also change character depending on need and activity. The visitor can literally see how square metres are turned into cubed metres.
