Ikea Hacking is a simple design concept that is taking the world by storm. In fact, there's even an Ikea Hacking tournament.
The concept is that you take a piece of your standard Ikea furniture and then put it together all wrong and mixed with other pieces from the store. The concept best demonstrated by the gallery of an Ikea-hacked lack table.
You have until the 15th of September to enter the competition, so arm yourself with a screw driver and get going.
