Free BILLY

2019
Made to commemorate the BILLY bookcase’s 40th Birthday, this BILLY both celebrates and challenges IKEA and the commercial design industry. Built to the exact dimensions of the real BILLY but consisting of zero original components. This Free BILLY is entirely made up of free parts, all sourced from IKEA’s free wood, and free fittings departments in stores.
