What a coincidence to see this on the HN front page. I want to use these catalogs for a project of mine, but I first wanted to speak to one of the people of the IKEA museum or IKEA itself to inquire about permissions (outside of the ones on the website). I have been trying to get a hold of them for weeks now, but with no luck so far. If anyone here knows someone at those places, please let me know.

In this age of extreme AI scraping, and an actual need for fun, whimsical projects built around IKEA catalogs, I give you permission.

(I am obviously not the ikea museum, sorry - but what's your project?)

Haha cheers. Despite this being a fun project, I'd still like to be the first to do it, so forgive me for not telling yet. I will try another round of outreach tomorrow and post it on HN as soon as I get permission.

DM me!

I'd love to, but your profile gives no way to contact you? You can find one on mine, otherwise I'd be happy about a link.

Hej! My bad, I thought there was a way to message in HN. I don’t have social media so I leave you a name here: Sofia Lögdberg is the Archive and Collection manager. Good luck. Love to see what you have done.

Hej, thanks again. I'll try contacting her.
