Democratic home design developed from Sweden and produced through a global supplier network.
Ingvar Kamprad founded IKEA in rural Sweden. Working from Älmhult, the company combined named Scandinavian designers, standardised components, self-service retail and flat-pack logistics into a global home-furnishing system.
Three products that define IKEA.
The adjustable flat-pack bookcase introduced in 1979.
A bentwood cantilever chair designed by Noboru Nakamura.
The square modular storage system descended from EXPEDIT.

Brand statements and product ranges change. Verify the current country-of-origin marking on the exact model before purchase.
IKEA uses a vast global supplier network. Country of origin differs by item and can change over time, even when the design name and appearance stay the same.
