IKEA Announces Bag Statue and Immersive AR Experience 

IKEA built a 19-foot-tall statue of its Frakta blue bag in New York City’s Madison Square Park featuring QR codes unlocking an augmented reality (AR) experience. Inside the experience, users will find exclusive offers on IKEA products. The statue and experience are part of IKEA’s investment into building its U.S. presence. 

The statue will expand IKEA’s latest marketing campaign, “The Giving Bag,” which launched earlier in 2023. The statue is designed to showcase how much the brand’s iconic bag can hold, similarly to The Giving Bag’s commercial featuring a child pulling a seemingly endless supply of products out of the bag.
