Kanye West should have added Ikea as his official bed sponsor in his video for "Famous."

The rapper and designer has been lusting after the Swedish furniture retailer since the beginning of the year.

In a new interview with the BBC, West expressed just how important it was for him to design for Ikea.

"I have to work with Ikea, make furniture for interior design, for architecture," he told BBC Radio 1.

What he's most interested in? Creating "a minimalist apartment inside of a college dorm."

"Yo Ikea, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes."

Earlier in March, West tweeted how he was inspired after visiting Ikea's headquarters in Sweden.

Though Ikea has yet to comment on a possible collaboration with West, a Yeezus-inspired home doesn't seem too farfetched. After all, who would've thought his Adidas shoes would be the best-selling shoes of all time?
