Tarot cards predict your future in the form of IKEA infographics
Software engineer and US presidential candidate Akiva Leffert has designed a set of IKEA-themed tarot cards that tell your future using assembly manual illustrations.
New York-based Leffert chose various graphic designs from IKEA furniture-assembly manuals and repurposed them to fit the meaning of certain cards in traditional tarot decks.
Instead of the usual four suits of wands, cups, swords, and chalices, the IKEA tarot is divided into four brand-themed suits including sofas, lamps, dowels, and Allen keys.
The Llovers card, for example, depicts a couple who are about to assemble a piece of furniture ? a playful reinterpretation of the traditional tarot card of The Lovers, with an extra L in the title to invoke the Swedish language.
"IKEA assembly manuals are already meant to be iconic and cross-cultural and so I felt like they'd done a lot of the ground work you need for a tarot deck," Leffert told Dezeen. The Töwr tarot card, which typically depicts a solid tower on fire after being struck by lightning, has been redesigned in IKEA-style as a bookcase that is toppling over due to the weight of someone who is trying to climb it.
Other cards feature products such as IKEA's Luriga hedgehog night light, under the "lamps" suit, or an image of an L-shaped sofa being assembled.
