Good on E15. Whether their bed is worth £3000, or whether the design is 'basic' is beside the point. IKEA are shameless at plagiarising the work of contemporary designers and both legally and ethically they should be sharing the profits they make out of this theft (or just not doing it at all).
And, materials aside, the reason IKEA can produce a similar looking product at a dramatically cheaper price is because of how aggressively they externalise its true cost; it's not just the plagiarised designers who are paying the price for their cheap furniture.
