IKEA Malaysia is transforming Kuala Lumpur into the city into a sleep spectacle, with workers donning sleepwear in the midst of their daily routines. A group of seemingly ordinary workers made their way to pillow installation by IKEA at Lot 10 Shopping Centre, surprising onlookers by trading their office attire for cozy sleepwear – from your ordinary pyjamas to kain pelikat and baju kelawar.
This captivating performance capped off a week of playful surprises by IKEA, as part of its larger campaign to encourage Malaysians to prioritise sleep amid constant connectivity and the fear of missing out.
The campaign aimed to highlight the importance of prioritizing sleep in a fast-paced, always-on society. The ‘sleepwalkers’ made appearances on public transportation, demonstrating the need for better rest even during busy commutes.
Throughout the week, ‘sleepwalkers’ seemingly dozing off on coaches were spotted by commuters on Kuala Lumpur’s MRT Kajang Line and LRT Kelana Jaya lines. Clad in pyjamas and carrying pillows, these individuals represented the many people who are sleep-deprived and desperately seeking any opportunity to catch up on rest – even during their commute.
By engaging the public in a conversation about sleep, IKEA hopes to remind Malaysians to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and focus on their well-being.
