Knäppa: The Digital Cardboard Camera from IKEA and Teenage Engineering

For better or worse, we Scandinavians are born into societies where forces of democratization run rampant. Whenever elitism rears its head it often faces strong-willed opposition in the form of newspaper articles or even ridiculing satire. Indeed, there’s no doubt that making expensive products for the few are often seen as an undemocratic faux-pas that goes against the Scandinavian consensus. Moreover, this is most likely part of the reason that IKEA’s stylish yet affordable design has taken us by storm.
In the spirit of this philosophy of democratic design, here is Knäppa, a digital, easy to use, cardboard camera that lets you take pictures of your home that you can then upload online. Like the majority of Scandinavians, Teenage Engineering believe that design belongs in real homes. Hopefully, Knäppa goes some way towards realizing this belief.
