Their breakthrough was the innovation of the wedge dowel, a curved block that slides and locks into an opposite slot, allowing pieces of furniture to be ‘snapped’ together without any screws or tools. Manufacturers save on money and resources, while customers save on headaches. IKEA put the wedge dowel on trial in 2014 with their Stockholm cabinet set, and its positive reception led them to develop it further.

The Lisabo table, seen below, is the latest marvel of wedge dowel technology. It’s built to last, and can be taken apart, moved, and reassembled easily.

IKEA is producing new furniture that uses the wedge dowel, a unique innovation that makes assembly a breeze

The ribbed dowel simply slides and locks into a slot, allowing furniture to be ‘snapped’ together

The Lisabo table, a classy birch number, is the latest IKEA marvel of wedge dowel technology

Its assembly requires absolutely zero screws and tools, which saves money and resources for manufacturers

It also saves a lot of hassle for IKEA customers, who have long decried the difficult assembly of IKEA products

IKEA first put the wedge dowel on trial in 2014 with their Stockholm cabinet set, and the response was highly positive

The Lisabo table ‘snaps’ together in minutes, a record compared to the hours some IKEA pieces require

It also comes apart just as easily, so it can be moved and set up again without issue

Sturdy, economical, and simple, wedge dowel technology will adapt furniture to modern, fast-paced lifestyles

Small metal plates can be screwed in for optional extra security, but the table stands strong without them

Claus Jørstad, 45, purchased this Marius chair for showering because he had a knee injury. The chairs design had some holes in the seat and while they look nice they, they proved to be a tricky trap for Claus.

When the Norwegian man was sitting down showering, one of his testicles fell through a hole in the seat and became enlarged due to the hot shower water.

“Sitting there I noticed the accident, I bent down to see what the f*** happened, I realized the little nutter has gotten stuck,” Jørstad said. ” As I couldn’t move, I started pondering how I was gonna get outta the mess. Finally, I realized I had no bloody ideas. But by then the water had turned colder than my mother-in-law’s smile when I married her daughter.”

“In despair, I reached for the hairdryer to keep warm while trying to come up with an escape plan, and that’s when I realized I had gotten loose from the seat. I was a free man.” He believes the cold water made his testicle shrink, allowing it to pop back through the hole. Claus shared this story with IKEA and it went viral. In the end Claus said he did not suffer any injuries apart from his “stomach muscles hurting from laughter after reading comments”.

In small apartments, extra furniture is a luxury for which there just isn’t room. If only there was a type of practical, sturdy furnishing that took up zero space when it wasn’t needed…

Invented by industrial designer Mike Mak, Bookniture is extremely compact, multifunctional furniture made of paper.

Thanks to its advanced honeycomb structure and the use of traditional book-binding technologies, Bookniture can be stored or carried around just like a book.

With just the flip of the wrist, Bookniture can serve as a small table…

In tests, it was able to hold up to 375 lbs (170 kg).
