Is IKEA’s new collection too good to be true?

Why is everyone talking about a giant data centre planned for Utah? Is IKEA‘s new collection a wake-up call for the design industry? And why do Parisians hate tall buildings? The latest episode of Dezeen Weekly is out now.

In this episode, Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and design editor Jennifer Hahn begin by discussing a project to build a huge data centre in a remote part of Utah, including the local backlash.

Then, they react to IKEA’s new PS collection, and consider how it’s possible for such nice design to cost so little.

Finally, they talk about what might prove to be Paris’s last ever skyscraper.
