IKEA was founded in Älmhult, Sweden, in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, then 17. The acronym IKEA is incidentally similar to the Greek word οικία [oikia] (home) and to the Finnish word oIKEA (correct, right), but was originally an abbreviation for "Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd" which was the address where Ingvar Kamprad started the company that is called IKEA.

IKEA offers a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices low enough so that as many people as possible can afford them. This idea is at the heart of everything IKEA, from product development and purchases to how products in IKEA stores are sold globally.

Low prices are the cornerstone of the IKEA vision and their business idea - but low prices don't mean cutting corners. IKEA Group believes in taking responsibility for people and protecting the environment is a prerequisite for doing good business.

If you like to shop online, the IKEA online shop can be accessed for any of the IKEA stores and at any time of the day or the night. While you will only get to see a small amount of household goods ...
... and other IKEA products when you shop online you will still be able to choose many items that you want for your home or your office. Shopping online has become a favorite of many customers as there are fewer crowds to contend with when you're sitting at home in your pajamas. For IKEA stores this is an added bonus. With the various IKEA online catalogs not only will you avoid the crowds but you can also find the items that you want with less of a hassle.

So if you haven't been to an IKEA store in a while, come by and check them out, or you can always order their catalog, or visit their website; either way, you've got options.
