A few weeks ago, as part of its fabrics-focused marketing push, Ikea mailed an unwieldy cardboard box to Curbed HQ. On the outside, it read "Life is hard without textiles"; on the inside, "A little bit of softness can change your world." Contained within was a faux plastic cactus tethered to the end of foot-and-a-half-long wooden stick.
