From Generation to Regeneration

For years, IKEA has been committed to creating solutions that make everyday life more sustainable and circular. But there’s someone who has been doing it since ever, the past generations, who grew up making recovery a real lifestyle. So who, better than them, can teach it to the new generations?

Thus, “From Generation to Regeneration” was born, a project in collaboration with Anteas, an association that has always given a voice to those who want to make their knowledge of a lifetime available to the community.

Guided by the message “To change the future, let’s put the past back into circulation”, this activity gave birth to different contents, with the constant aim of stimulating a dialogue on the circular philosophy between different generations and inspiring people on the theme of creative recycling. Thus, five video tutorials were born, in which Anteas experts and a group of young influencers collaborated to upcycle old IKEA products. But that’s not all. “From Generation to Regeneration” became a podcast to tell the extraordinary stories of five people who have made circularity their philosophy of life, as well as a series of workshops and in-store activities.

VOLKSWAGEN – SAFELIST

29% of car accidents are caused by speeding.

It is scientifically proven that our driving style is influenced by the type of music we are listening to, which unconsciously makes us drive following its rhythm.

This happens because the BPM (beats per minute) of a song positively affects our heart rate, leading us to exceed speed limits.

 

Being an automotive company with a strong focus on safety, Volkswagen decided to offer drivers a solution to this problem. Together with scientists and musicians, we have developed an algorithm that can determine the perfect BPM to stimulate driving within speed limits. This is how we created Safelists: four playlists that specifically help driving within speed limits depending on the type of road: Country Road List, Urban Street List, Motorway List and Suburban Road List.

You could always feel the safety of a Volkswagen. From now on, you can also listen to it.

Bennet – Hungry for Culture

Feeding our body is a primary need, but way too often we forget to nurture our most important side: our mind. To do it, reading has always been considered food for thought, the only mean to grow as human beings and as a society. So, with large-scale retail brand Bennet, we created an awareness campaign about cultural consumption, with the aim of bringing back the habit of reading in everyday life. How? Displaying books for sale where people focus their attention the most, in food aisles.

Progress is measured in emotions.

In the evocative setting of the Ampezzo Dolomites, Audi tells how the attitude to innovation derives from the desire to always get involved and overcome one’s limits. Because this is the only way to achieve advanced and exciting performances, while fully respecting the environment. Starring: 100% electric Audi RS e-tron GT and Kristian Ghedina, Italian ski champion and racing driver, capable of representing the idea of progress according to the House of the four rings.

Not just products.

IKEA believes that great design should be available to everyone. No wonder its Design is called Democratic: a combination of function, form, quality, sustainability, and low price. Starting from this last principle, affordability, we brought to life an integrated campaign that describes IKEA solutions as more than just products, because they’re developed to make the difference in every home. And to be accessible to anyone. And that’s why, thanks to IKEA, with little you can get a lot for your life.

Lamborghini Aventador ULTIMAE – Timeless

Those that we now consider world icons have not always been: only those who make initially misunderstood and radical choices, over time, can achieve this status. This film tells the journey beyond all convention and expectation with which Lamborghini Aventador manages to escape the temporal dimension to become “timeless”.

The Fearniture Collection

October 2020. Due to the pandemic’s restrictions, for the first time ever, Italian people were forced to spend the Halloween night at home. So, to celebrate the scariest night of the year we created The Fearniture Collection: an ironic campaign that promote IKEA product’s shadows turning (and pricing!) them into spooky monsters. Because in the darkness of your home, even the most innocuous piece of furniture can become a nightmare.

Stop Cat-Calling

84% of women have endured cat-calling, a harassment frequent not only on the streets, but also online. While in France, Belgium and many other countries it’s punished by the law, in Italy it’s not considered an offence. As insurance company specialized in protection, Zurich Connect chose to take a stand for women’s right giving them the first cross-country defense against verbal sexual harassment. We intercepted cat-calling comments on social media and, using a pseudonym, we sent a bait link to the harassers. Clicking on it, they landed on a website registered in France, where their comments are prosecutable. Facing the risk, almost everyone deleted his comment.
But there is no protection without justice. That’s why we asked people to help us change the law signing the petition to make cat-calling a punishable offence in Italy too.

The electric for Totti. The electric for all.

In his new role as ambassador for the ID. range, Francesco Totti took the field wearing a new uniform, that of the team of engineers who are developing Volkswagen electric cars and who introduced him to their characteristics and technologies.

In this series of episodes, we follow Francesco Totti’s journey through the Volkswagen ID. R&D center in Wolfsburg. He loves to make jokes and sure there are some misunderstandings with the engineers, but he manages to learn all the secrets and advantages of the electric mobility and translates them for us in his own straightforward way.

The forgetful

When you don’t have to pay the installments of your new car for 3 months, you can even forget you have bought it. This is what happens in the 2 commercials of the new campaign for the SUV range. A Volkswagen style message that emphasizes how even the purchase of a new car can be experienced without worries.
