Hello

Nice you are interested.

IKEA will only sell and distribute for refugee purpose.

We have a deal that I may sell to private market. It is just in the start up so I m checking how big the market can be. We are working with ultra high strength steel so only some steel plant can produce the pipes and connectors.

It can be used as garage, storage, stables etc. You can cover the frame with heavy fabrics, board, plastic, sheet metal.

Hello

Nice you are interested.

It was a product design course at a university in a neighboring city who worked for IKEA. They had been developing refugee houses but hadn't found a good concept.

The company I was employed in got a request if we could support and I got the project.

Hello

We have 25 in Etiopia. There it is an extra roof about one foot over the other. The women did another thing. They poured water over the floor and when it dried it took heat from the room.
