IKEA’s e-shelving

Even as the world gets increasingly paperless, we still must observe the Law of Conversation of Data. That is, all of that information that used to be stored in paper form must now be stored someplace else. Just take a look at our cluttered email inboxes and messy computer desktops.
IKEA, organizer of IRL (in real life) has teamed up with ad agency Laboratory Ideas to create an e-folder organizing system. The idea is pretty simple: replace your desktop background and folder icons with IKEA-designed virtual boxes and shelves, then file away your tax returns, screenshots, and photos accordingly. I would have wished this desktop folder system would be more interactive, but it does the job. And unlike most IKEA stuff, you don’t have to haul it in your friend’s SUV.
