Ikea Australia leans Into the ‘Severance’ aesthetic
By James Herring on Sunday, March 23, 2025
If you’ve ever wanted your workspace to channel the eerie elegance of Severance, Ikea Australia has just the vibe.
The retailer is tapping into the show’s haunting aesthetic to promote office furniture that could’ve been snatched from Lumon Industries.
The Severance interiors walk a fine line between dystopian and design-forward, blending stark white walls with smooth curves, dark wood accents, and retrofuturistic geometry.
All sounds a bit IKEA-ish doesn’t it.
Ikea Australia dropped this ad on their TikTok channel cleverly embraces this tension, highlighting minimalist desks, acoustic screens and moody lighting.
‘For work that is mysterious and important.’
The result? A workplace look that’s equal parts sleek and unsettling.
Perfect for anyone who likes their productivity with a side of existential dread.
