Researchers probably haven’t given much thought to the interior design of Martian settlements, but you know who has? Ikea. An Ikea designer spent several days living in the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, which is designed to feel as close as possible to the adventure of living and working on the actual mars. The Swedish furniture giant initially launched a line of furniture meant for small spaces based on the station. Now, Ikea has helped to redecorate the interior of the station itself using a range of its furniture. IKEA’s approach is a good example of additions to ongoing efforts to help humans set up investigation and experimentation amenities on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
