Helmut Smit is a artist/designer. This brilliant Ikea Hack "harks back to one of humanity's basic needs: making fire." As Ikea does not sell matches or lighters, Smits has taken cues from the wartime necessity of burning furniture to keep warm, and created a fire from an Ikea rope, hanger, wine rack, egg cup, napkins, and floral embellishments.

  • Lighter at ikea : 99cents

  • who are the 26 guys that don't like it...and why??? i guess: waste and disrespect, ay? are they all female?

  • This is a good way to learn how to do this for the first time. Use premanufactured items. After you've mastered the technique, you can make all your components from nature. This is called learning...

  • @MulXTire yea, but no where near as cool

  • I don;t think the idea was to use a common lighter, but to reflect how common materials can be used to make fire. Give the dude a break. he has just showed you how to use a bow from a close hanger, nylon string and junk crap home stuff from Ikea to save your bacon one day.

    Lighters are not the save all and malfunction or stop working all day long. What will U do when the old trusty Bic stops working? Call Survivor man? Better rub that little pecker with some cotton balls soaked in vasoline.

  • Great video. I love seeing the junk from Ikea set on fire.

  • expensive and pointless! 

  • Brilliant!  Great Video! Thanks, wtr7

  • He invented fire with 20 euros.

  • Chuck Norris can make fire, by rubbing to ice cubes together...
