The Ivar Hive


      With Ione Shakur & Jake Kurbis
      IKEA’s Ivar Chair, Upcycled Wood, Cork, Wood Glue
      2024

     
Our group was provided an IKEA Ivar Chair, and
      instructed to alter its function. We designed
      a portable, DIY top bar beehive  as a response
      to the pollination crisis in Barcelona, and the
      city’s outdated beekeeping criminalization.

      This project was made possible by the enthusiastic               insights of local beekeeper, Amy Ursula of Honey House,
      Barcelona.
