Ikea – La sieste

Offering Parisians Rest with T3’s Innovative Design

In a bold initiative to promote well-being in urban environments, IKEA France has launched “La Sieste”, an innovative concept allowing Parisians to enjoy mobile sleep capsules for a revitalizing break. These eight fully equipped modules were cleverly attached to trailers pulled by electric bikes, providing a practical, sustainable, and accessible solution in the heart of the city.

T3’s Role: Custom Design with Curves and Angles

For this project, T3 Display Systems played a key role in the design and manufacturing of the capsule structures, ensuring a balance between lightness, strength, and visual impact. Using our T3 modular system, we incorporated custom curves and angles, resulting in a fluid, enveloping form that optimizes comfort while ensuring the mobility and functionality required for this urban activation.

Features & Realization

✅ A Custom Design: The T3 structure served as the base for the pods, with curved elements and a fluid layout, creating a welcoming and immersive space.

✅ IKEA Signature Comfort: Each pod was equipped with iconic IKEA elements, including mattresses, duvets, pillows, cushions, curtains, and bedside tables, for an ideal cocooning atmosphere.

✅ Accessibility & Functionality: Designed with large doors and integrated windows, the units provided easy access and natural light, ensuring an optimal napping experience.

✅ Mobility & Eco-Responsibility: Attached to trailers pulled by electric bikes, the pods represented a sustainable and innovative solution in line with IKEA’s ecological commitment.

Impact & Reception

🚴 An Unprecedented Urban Activation: By combining design, mobility, and sustainability, this project demonstrated how brands can transform public spaces with useful and engaging experiences.

🌍 Innovation & Sustainable Development: The use of the lightweight and modular T3 system enabled an installation with low environmental impact yet high visibility, perfectly in line with IKEA’s eco-responsible commitments.

📢 Strong Public Engagement: Parisians quickly embraced the concept, with numerous reservations via Instagram and Twitter, demonstrating public interest in solutions that promote well-being in urban environments.

Conclusion

IKEA’s “La Sieste” project, supported by T3’s bespoke designs, demonstrated that urban comfort, sustainability, and modular innovation can be harmoniously combined. By combining cleverly chosen materials with a flexible and visually striking structure, we helped IKEA offer Parisians an unforgettable brand experience—one nap at a time.
