We all have a RÖDFLIK lamp, a BILLY shelf and dozens of candles and other accessories with unpronounceable names in our home. The temple of low-cost decorating and furnishing, IKEA is preparing to offer decorating aficionados a giant flea market in the parking lot of its Roques store, near Toulouse. See you on June 15, 2024 for cheap IKEA furniture (cheaper than in-store). More details.
IKEA’s giant flea market just a stone’s throw from Toulouse
It’s in the parking lot of the IKEA store in Roques, near Toulouse, that the festivities will take place on Saturday June 15, 2024. From 8am to 5pm, you can buy and sell furniture, clothes and even toys. As the Swedish leader explains “you earn money and help your old products find a second life in a new home”.
A welcome circularity initiative, given that the ARTE documentary IKEA, Lord of the Forests undermined the Swedish company’s not-so-green image. One of the company’s objectives is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030..
If you’d like to sell items, you can rent a stand for €10. The proceeds will be donated to the “Hôpital du Sourire” association in Toulouse. On-site, you’ll also find products from the IKEA second life space and workshops to learn how to upcycle your furniture. So, are you ready to take part in this year’s biggest flea market ?
