That means responding to the home furnishing needs of people throughout the world. People with different needs, tastes, dreams, aspirations...and wallets. People who want to improve their homes and create better everyday lives.

It's not difficult to manufacture expensive fine furniture - just spend the money and let the customers pay. To manufacture beautiful, durable furniture at low costs is not so easy. It requires a different approach. Finding simple solutions, scrimping and saving in every direction. Except on ideas.

But we can't do it alone. Our business idea is based on a partnership with customers like you. First we do our part. Our designers work with manufacturers to find smart ways to make furniture using existing production processes. Then our buyers look all over the world for good suppliers with the most suitable raw materials. Next, we buy in bulk - on a global scale - so that we can get the best deals, and you can get the lowest price.

Then you do your part. Using the IKEA catalogue and visiting the store, you choose the furniture yourself and pick it up at the self-serve warehouse. Since most items are packed flat, you can get them home easily, and assemble them yourself. This means we don't charge you for things you can easily do on your own. So together we save money...for a better everyday life.
