I/O Design Fiction by: Chrisoula Kapelonis
Intro
With all the data we are now generating about ourselves, its not hard to wonder about the possibilities of building a world around us that responds to our preferences, our habits, our thoughts, our dreams. From our digital worlds to our physical ones. Say hello to our new service, IKEA I/O. It is a new subscription service for mass-customization of furniture and home, along with instant updates and connection to the 3D cloud. Home is no longer limited to one place. Take your space with you in your pocket, and make home anywhere in the planet. We draw personality data from analytics of each user’s eyEI streams in order to parametrically customize spaces that fit your needs and routines. EI, extended intelligence, is at the heart of every IKEA I/O subscription. You know your home, now its time your home knows you.
Goodbye generic. Hello you.
Goodness beyond cooking Our new rapid printed shredded salmon dish is made by using all of the prime meat cartridges from each fish, not just a single input. Served up family style, on a pressed fat bowl, with gelatinized vegetables, and crystallized egg drops, it’s as old sustainable as it is tasty.
Intro
Put the power of cooking at your fingertips. The Fridge Food printer puts your directly in control of flavor creation. Regulate the taste levels easily on the touch control, or use the nutrition booster to really get cooking. Precise, nutrition efficient, healthy, and fast.
Intro
Designed for people, not computers. Everything we do is driven by the needs and dreams of real people. Some companies might think of them as “data.” We like to think of them as people - you know, people who over overload the fridge printer with synthetic meat combinations, or laugh with Soylent in their mouth. We design for people. For children who like to choose their recipe, for boyfriends who prefer the Chocolate 12 combination over the Chocolate 13, for grandmothers who refuse to eat vegan. We make products and solutions with someone in mind. Not just bots without a purpose. We even upload the data of our people into our eyEI devices to better understand their lives, and make better EI. So will you want to subscribe or update some of our products after you download this catalog? Hopefully. Will you feel that we’re trying to sell you things you don’t need? Hopefully not. Have a great day and don’t worry if you put the salt cartridge in the sugar casing. People do that.

Dining Meals bring us together, a time to leave the stress of the day behind and connect with who truly matters. We know that’s not always the reality in this post-geographic world, but it’s the one we’re aiming for. To us, it doesn’t matter where, how or what we eat, so we’re rethinking eating convention. That means updating new surfaces to create seamless transitions from eating a meal alone, to being joined by a holographic friend. The dining space is where you celebrate, talk, catch up, teleport, and laugh together - and we hope it’s a place you always want to come back to.
Dining
Imperfect is perfect enough The “perfect” dinner party doesn’t exist anymore. It’s a myth that stops many of us from unlocking our spatial access and allowing people to teleport over. Well, it’s time to embrace our inner Mediterranean zone. Extend the tables, print a bunch of plates and utensils, and let the recipes flow from the fridge. This is a family-style dinner where it’s ok to share.
Dining
The no-rule family dinner These days, the family dinner is whatever, and wherever we want it to be. Our surfaces should be able to adapt to this ever transient habit of eating. When your desk is your dining table, and your bed is your coffee table, new types of furniture are needed. Our surfaces are equipped with heating and cooling systems to keep food warm wherever you decide to eat.
Dining
The passion project table With new programmable surfaces, you could seamlessly go from dining table, to desk to bed. Just change the hardness, material and texture of the surface to your liking, and keep on flowing between things. Your passion should never be interrupted by reconfiguration.
Dining
Can you have too much coziness? With the VASNOS plate printer, more is all the merrier. Just print however many plates and utensils you need. And don’t worry about them taking up space. Once you’ve finished eating, you can put them back in the matter compiler as future printing material.
Dining
Your new not-so secret recipe IKEA I/O, when paired with your personal data, designs a space that is perfectly tuned to your preferences. It’s your secret recipe. But not so secret that you can’t alter it when you want. How can you go wrong with that?
Dining
Share a meal - anywhere Our meals have migrated - from the dining table to the desk, and floor. These days, a meal with friends or family doesn’t happen around a set physical table. Invite your friends from your neural tribe to teleport in, and have a meal together. Because it doesn’t really matter where we eat - just that we get to be together.

Dining
Cooking that thinks ahead When you connect your eyEI system to the IKEA I/O, your food printer automatically monitors your vitals and biometric data to understand the optimal time for you to eat, and when to eat. You can preprogram the printer to prepare food automatically. This is the new fast food.
Dining
A synthetic fit for nature’s finest Made with the highest quality synthetics, our food cartridges allow for the most versatile combinations of flavors. With the purchase of a food printer, you receive the standard set of flavors. Who ever said synthetic doesn’t taste real, hasn’t tried our food.
Dining
Kitchen There are so many cooking cartridge recipes our there these days. Order from a restaurant for instant fridge print, subscribe to a companies recipe access, or even invent your own flavor combinations. Whatever you decide works for you, we’ve got you covered. Now with more cartridge capacity.
Kitchen
Eat like no AI’s watching The appeal of eating by yourself is all about perception. Make any selection you want, give yourself a little treat, sing a cheesy techno anthem. Because when you’re eating alone, you can make any decision you want. Go ahead, we won’t tell.
Kitchen
Stress-free socializing Imagine this dinner party where you are standing in the kitchen, chatting with your HomEI, eating casually alone. But you never feel alone when you are around HomEI. Because your home knows you, your home is your best friend.
Kitchen
A kitchen that moves with you Since your eyEM is connected to the central system of the home, wherever you go, you can bring your taste preferences with you. No more needing to look for the grocery of your choice, or leaving your favorite restaurant. Now, it is all printed.
Kitchen
Good design is algorithmic. Because algorithmic design is tunable to your needs and preferences. And what’s more important that you?
Kitchen
A balcony for a feast Grow your own plants indoors now with IKEA’s garden shelf system. Plants are perfect for nourishment when grown with the food computer, and for illuminating a room. Now with brighter luminosity.
Kitchen
Tiny sink, happy drink The sink has the same cartridge capabilities like the fridge. You can buy a subscription to your favorite drink and print as much of that drink as you’d like. Or you can pick and choose generic flavors and textures to try. Take your pick.
Kitchen
The multi-cultural kitchen Turn your kitchen into a culinary adventure. Crave Italian and be transported into a Tuscan village. If you want Greek food, turn your kitchen into your grandmother’s village home. Your pick. What’s for dinner?
Kitchen
Small acts, big change Leave your leftover food on the table and on the floor. Don’t worry about crumbs. With our new bio-surfaces, The microorganisms that change material properties, also feed off of your leftovers. No need to clean. Ever again.
Kitchen
Never feels like a rental Because every time you enter a new space, your furniture refreshes itself, it never feels old or worn down. Your space never feels borrowed or like someone else’s. Always home.

Growing our future For the first time, furniture can now grow with us. For our kids, that means furniture that will develop as they do, and stay with them from infancy to college.
Relaxing
Organizing Organizing is now almost non-existent. Because of the advent of matter compilers, self-adjusting clothing, and printable food, we no longer need large closets to organize things in, because we barely have things to organize. Hurahh to more space!
Dress code: sweatpants Decide what kind of clothing you want to wear today. With self-changing, self-cleaning threads, you now no longer need to be limited to your wardrobe. Buy in app 3D purchases to get new clothing textures and forms.
Relaxing
Wear what you love With shape-shifting, transformative clothes that have self-cleaning textiles, you now do not need to clean your clothes anymore. Just one pair of textiles can last you for five years. No more laundry, no more dryer, and no more showers. These textiles clean you right away as they clean themselves. No more closets needed.
Organizing
The no-fuss wardrobe Because all we need now are a single pair of textiles to wear, we no longer need big closets. Our matter compilers create the rest of the materials for us. More space, less fuss.
Organizing
Sleeping Sleeping is the moment where your body is in complete contact with the changeable surface. During the day, biometric data is pulled from the feed from the eyEM, but at night, even deeper data can be saved about the state of the person. This also allows the surface to help the person sleep well.
Sleeping
A night light Plants are now genetically modified to be grown into lights. Touch the leaves and a glow immediate resonated from deep in the roots of the plant. Plant produced energy.
Organizing
The dream bedroom recipe Fine tune your bedroom based on your preferences. Like a harder bed, change the stiffness. Like lighter textiles? Just change the color. Just like food, our reconfigurable furniture is also based on recipes. So find one that fits your taste.
Sleeping
A bedroom in disguise The surface that makes up the kitchen table, dining table and office desk, are all of the same transformable surface piece. This transforms into the bed at night, and becomes soft. Hidden room.
Sleeping
Private sleep zones for all With the phase shifting of society, and the transient habits, we are borrowing each other’s spaces to live these lifestyles. With IKEA I/O, you never need to worry about running into someone else in your home. Your physical spaces cannot be experienced by each other, and there is a physical privacy blocker.
Sleeping
Bioroom The bathroom has been replaced by the bioroom. With the advent of self cleaning clothing, we no longer need to take baths, and thus, the bathroom has become a place of biological analysis. All that is left in the bathroom is the toilet and a sink with a mirror. The toilet analyzes the person’s vitality every day and prescribes them a doctor if they need to see one.

Bioroom
Doctor AI connected The toilet is the source of vital biological analysis. The wearable in the eye can lightly test the internals, but multiple times a day, the toilet tests the samples to see if the person is healthy
Bioroom
Prescribe your home When you are sick, let your home heal you. Passive healing through home prescription system. Plug a pill into the wall and let the microorganisms do the rest.
This is IKEA I/O Your best friend is your home. We know what you like once you like it. Because with IKEA I/O, your brain is your home and your home is your brain. To you.
