Ikea Greece has released a campaign in time for Valentine’s Day that plays on the well-known feeling that building flat-pack furniture can be a stressful task.

But in a twist, each print suggests that the stresses that come with assembling Ikea products actually might be a positive thing for couples.

“If it can turn you mad, it can turn you on. Celebrate Valentine’s the right way,” reads the copy, alongside timestamps of the various activities.

The ads come from The Newtons Laboratory, which released its first piece of work for the Swedish retailer in August last year.
