Fittedness of home

This study consists of concentric layers that surround, like spheres, the central topic of home. The home is understood as a core reference point for late capitalist consumer lifestyles. The paper argues that its central status is symptomatically manifested and can, therefore, be analyzed through how IKEA engages with everyday life. Discourses drawn from art, consumer culture theories, somaesthetics, and sensory studies are factored in to revolve around this topic. Each discourse is examined individually and in combination to determine how it fits the task of rethinking the home.
