IKEA Furniture Upcycled to Become Wildlife Homes

IKEA is on a big push to lower their overall carbon footprint, and show the world that they can be a responsible global citizen.

Collaborating with artists in the UK, they’ve created a series called Wildhomes for Wildlife, utilizing old IKEA furniture pieces in funky and innovative ways.

Below are some of the pieces from the collection, including homes for birds, bats, bees, insects, and more.  Via Dezeen:
