Each episode is set in a house decorated by IKEA. the cast includes Iza Kuna, Piotr Adamczyk, Kazimierz Kaczor and Maria Maj.

The products and designs from IKEA are not only the scenery; they play a role in each of the episodes. We have planned eight episodes, each one eight minutes long. It is a pioneer length for TV branded content. The feature form of the series is also a novelty, we are stepping away from the format of mini-episodes that the viewers are used to," said Karolina Szabłowska, External Marketing Communication Manager for IKEA Retail in Poland.
