Ikea Created "Love Seats" in Honor of Pride, and They Represent 10 LGBTQ+ Flags

Waseem Shayk is the cofounder of Rangeela, Canada's largest event for the South Asian Queer community. He wanted to create a space where South Asian queer people were recognized and could show up and be their authentic selves. He credits the event's success to following his and his cofounder's gut feelings — to create a space where people can show up and be true to who they are.

This love seat was designed by Canadian designer Ali Haider.
