Kanye West clearly enjoys the finer things in life: extravagant marriage proposals, $1,700 sweaters, and marble conference tables. But is he also a fan of affordable, DIY home goods?

While his wife was busy posting nudes and beefing with Bette Midler, the rapper-designer caused a minor bout of hysteria Tuesday when he was seen touring the Ikea headquarters in Almhult, Sweden. A video of West strolling casually through the building can be viewed on TeamKanyeDaily. (No word on whether he paused for a napski.)

Ikea later confirmed West’s visit. A spokesperson simply said, “That’s right, we can confirm that he is there. I don’t want to and can’t say more than that he is in Älmhult at Ikea today.” And as to whether West and Ikea will be collaborating on a project? “Time will tell.” Uh ma gahd.

Though, to our knowledge, West has never created any furniture — I mean, maybe he made a stool in middle school shop class or something — but he’s certainly a guy who finds joy in exploring his creativity through various mediums.

So far he has made sneakers, leather jogging pants, body stockings, and of course, plenty of music … why not mass-produced Swedish furniture?
