Christmas is quickly approaching. IKEA proposed a diorama-style advent calendar for Christmas.
Advent Calendar The Advent Calendar is a calendar that counts Advent, the four-week period before Christmas. In the Western world, advent calendars are released in December with small gifts for each date. When you open the box corresponding to the date from the 1st to the 25th, a small gift is randomly placed. You can wait for Christmas by receiving a new gift every day.
The Advent calendar, which has been around since 1850, counted the days with cards containing Bible verses. In modern times, waiting for Christmas has turned into an event where people receive small gifts every day. Various brands participate in the event every year.
Like Ikea, this Advent calendar is provided on flat paper and needs to be assembled. Inspired by IKEA designer Paulin Machado's experience, the calendar includes materials for simple paper crafts. Once you've built all the boxes - a traditional country house, a wimpy Santa, a snowman with a top hat, and a cute goat - you'll have a cute little village. In the background of the village, Santa flies through the night sky on his reindeer. Every day leading up to Christmas, when you open your box you will find a selection of small trinkets and chocolates with praline, nougat and truffles.
This is an IKEA-style experience design. It's light and cheap, it's fun to make it yourself, and there's even a small reward. It's a wonderful experience that allows you to enjoy the excitement that tickles your heart more deeply and richly while waiting for the anniversary.
This is an interior accessory steeped in traditional Scandinavian handicraft style that can stand out among ordinary decorations. In addition to IKEA, various brands have designed Advent calendars, so search for them if you are interested.
