 IKEAIKEA is a global furniture company with stores in Eastern and Western Europe, North America and Asia. Its unique concept is that the furniture is sold in kits that are assembled by the customer at home. The flat packages are easy to store and transport and the assembly can be done by unskilled persons. IKEA started with an image based on low price and the company culture still emphasizes frugality and informality - dark suits and business class flights are avoided in this company! IKEA was founded in 1950 by Ingvar Kamprad and was originally a mail order company. Its "mysterious" name is actually an acronym of the founder's name and two towns in the area where he lived: Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd.
