Is IKEA's new collection too good to be true?

Why is everyone talking about a giant new data centre planned for the Utah desert? Is IKEA's new collection a wake-up call for the design industry? And why do Parisians hate tall buildings?

 

In this episode, Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and design editor Jennifer Hahn begin by discussing a project to build a huge data centre in a remote part of Utah, including the local backlash.

 

Then, they react to IKEA's new PS collection, and consider how it's possible for such nice design to cost so little.

 

Finally, they talk about what might prove to be Paris's last ever skyscraper.
