EARLIER THIS YEAR, the UN’s Refugee Agency ordered 10,000 shelters for refugee families around the world.
But these aren’t any ordinary shelters.
These were designed by Ikea and built by Better Shelter, a social enterprise run by Ikea’s non-profit foundation, to help refugees fleeing violence and conflict by “putting their needs at the heart of the development process”.
These Ikea-designed shelters are safer, more durable, more cost effective, and generally bigger and more useful than the tents the UN typically uses for refugees.
