What does IKEA mean?

IK = Ingvar Kamprad, the initials of IKEA founder

EA = Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, the name of the farm and village where he grew up 

Ingvar Feodor Kamprad was an enterprising young boy who founded IKEA when he was only 17 years old. He began the brand by selling replicas of his uncle Ernst’s kitchen table and slowly moved into other products. Though the company was mainly mail-order, it wasn’t long before IKEA took off and became a part of people’s homes across the world. Ingvar’s goal was always to help people live better while adding value and beauty to their lives.

IKEA has grown into a global retail and business leader. Ingvar Kamprad has been at the core of the IKEA success story from its very first store in Almhult in 1953, to 403 stores in 49 countries today. They still believe like he did, that most things still remain to be done.

The IKEA Concept starts with the idea of providing a range of home furnishing products that are affordable to the many people, not just the few. It is achieved by combining function, quality, design and value - always with sustainability in mind.

The IKEA Concept exists in every part of their company, from design, sourcing, packing and distributing through to their business model. IKEA aim is to help more people live a better life at home.

“To create a better everyday life for the many people”, this is the IKEA vision. Their  business idea is “to offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them”.

They work hard to achieve quality at affordable prices for their customers through optimizing their entire value chain, by building long-term supplier relationships, investing in highly automated production and producing large volumes. Their vision also goes beyond home furnishing. They want to create a better every day for all people impacted by their business.

”Most things remain undone. A glorious future!”
