Winner: IKEA 'Lamp 2'. Many of us remember CPB's Unboring work and the original, iconic Lamp spot for IKEA. It's only fitting that 16 some-odd years later, the story continues. What makes this new spot unique and notable is its message; reusing and not wasting.

From the way the little girl carries her new Lamp up the stairs to the Lamp's POV looking back or looking at her, Rethink's team was able to create both a perfect sequel and beautiful homage.
