IT’S BIG BROTHER – Ikea style.
As part of a bizarre marketing stunt, the Swedish furniture giant built an apartment in the middle of the Auber metro station in Paris.
Not only did the company fit it with its own-brand materials, it has also put five people in it to live for five days.
The idea?
IKEA wants to tell people that its storage products can make the tiniest of living spaces habitable. So basically it’s a demo that can’t miss be missed or ignored by commuters.
Here is how the residents are getting on so far (thanks to Business Insider for images):

This is not the first time that IKEA has utilised the French metro system. In 2010, the St. Lazare, Champs-Elysées, Clémenceau, Concorde and Opera stations were kitted out with sofas and lamps, according to psfk.
