IKEA designed a fleet of eight electric bikes towing a sleeping capsule to give parisians the chance to take a power nap in the afternoon and replenish energy during la rentrée. The benefits of getting a good sleep are well known – from improving mood to restoring capacities of vigilance and concentration – however, taking power naps is not a habit yet, maybe for the lack of dedicated spaces.
Convinced that a good sleep — even if short – contributes to our well-being, IKEA launched “La Sieste” and invited users to test its sleep solutions, created in order to adapt to all needs and optimize every resting moment.
