The world-famous Billy bookcase from IKEA is turning 30 this year, and the company is pulling out all the stops to celebrate. (Shouldn't a 30-year-old graduate to the more sophisticated "Bill"? No matter.) For a limited time--now until they run out (or the end of January 2010)--IKEA is selling two patterned versions and we're giving one of them to one of you!
Forget birch veneer. We're offering up the new BILLY JÄDER, covered in graffiti of William Shakespeare's love sonnets. Designer Annika Bryngelson says she had a romantic young man in mind when she was working on this, but we think anyone with a children's room or a modern aesthetic could pull it off.
It measures 31.5" wide x 79.5" high x 11" deep and it's also available in green print on white and orange print on white. Since the Billy was designed in 1979, IKEA has sold 41 million of them. According to IKEA, those 41 million bookcases laid end to end would wrap around the world twice. It boggles the mind.
