UPDATE (3/8/16, 8:10 p.m. EST): Earlier tonight, Kanye West hit up Twitter with a series of random thoughts, one of which touched on his recent experience at the Ikea headquarters in Sweden.
Though the prolific tweeter didn’t reveal much about his visit, he did say he walked away with a lot of inspiration.
Stay tuned to see what he has in store.
See original story below.
Kanye West has tapped into the sneaker and apparel market with various collections and collaborations. But could his next endeavor be a furniture line with Ikea?
A user in the Kanye To The forum first reported spotting Kanye at Ikea's headquarters in Sweden. It has since been confirmed by the company. According to The Independent, Kanye reportedly met with Ikea to discuss a possible design collaboration.
Ikea hasn't confirmed whether or not the rumors are true. In a statement, the company said: "Today Kanye West came by our design department at IKEA of Sweden in Älmhult to explore IKEA and our design. At IKEA we are constantly curious about different people, companies, artists and events around the world. To have these connections and inspiring meetings is an important way for us to find new ways to create a better everyday life for the many people."
Kanye's team declined to comment.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Kanye ends up designing furniture especially given his interest in art, design, and architecture. As he once tweeted: "We can collectively [affect] the world through design."
Maybe Virgil Abloh, who has said he wants to design furniture, will help out.
