For some Swedish weirdness, check out Pluxemburg, home of the label Pluxemburg and the fabulous Stockholm band Pluxus. In addition to great content, it has to be one of the best label / band presentation sites out there. Complete with de rigeur MP3s, videos and blah blah. Design and code by Burnfield.

Spike Jonze has directed a new advert for furniture giant IKEA, part of their new campaign from ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky. The campaign payoff is "Unb�ring", a new manifesto from IKEA about good design for cheap prices. Quote: "Making something beautiful that costs $2,000 is boring. Making something beautiful that costs $2 is a revolution."

Too good to be true? Probably, considering IKEA's tradition of ripping off leading designs and reproducing them cheaply. A revolution? I think not.
