IKEA's Better Shelter for refugees is 2016's Design of the Year
Better Shelter is the result of a 2015 collaboration between The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the IKEA Foundation. The social enterprise develops and provides innovative housing solutions for persons displaced by armed conflicts and natural disasters.
The temporary homes were the big winner in the ninth Beazley Designs of the Year awards, taking home both the Architecture award and the 2017 Grand Prize. The Beazley Design Awards recognise the most original and exciting designs from around the world in six different categories: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Graphics, Products and Transport.
The Better Shelter homes are a wonderful example of creatives channelling their talents to help the humanitarian crisis. The white, flat-pack homes arrive in two boxes and can be assembled using just a hammer, which is also included.
