Helmut Smit is our new favorite artist/designer, even if FLAMMA was the only project he'd ever done (it isn't, by the way, and they are all stellar). This brilliant Ikea Hack "harks back to one of humanity's basic needs: making fire." As Ikea does not sell matches or lighters, Smits has taken cues from the wartime necessity of burning furniture to keep warm, and created a fire from an Ikea rope, hanger, wine rack, egg cup, napkins, and floral embellishments.
The video above is worth every minute, not to mention a good lesson in building fires, an art lost on most of us.

Wow, believe I've seen his stuff before. John Kromeling must have been an influence. (who is considered by those in the know the father of dutch conceptual design)
It seems everyone needs one.
Nice
He could use some manicure though.
Oh good, let's take some perfectly good consumer products and destroy them and pretend it's a lesson in design.
Its too expensive, a box of matches. How much?
Vaya, realmente vale la pena verlo cada minuto.
Felicitaciones
No do it while raining or just humid, that is when there is most need of fire :)
