Creating better solutions

We think great design should be available to the many, not a luxury that only a few can afford. So together with our suppliers, we innovate new materials and technology to make our products even better and more affordable.

Low prices are a natural part of the IKEA concept

To lower costs, we always look for new ways to make our supply chain more efficient. Large orders make it possible for us to cut prices without compromising on working conditions, quality or sustainability. Our suppliers, like us, make profit from high volumes rather than high margins.

Saving our customers time and money
At IKEA, we constantly question existing solutions. By making our furniture easier to assemble, our production more efficient and by improving our packaging for easier transport, we save time and money for our customers.
Cutting down assembly time. Making the assembly process simpler is a long-term mission. A small ribbed fitting makes assembly easier than ever, minimizing the use of tools. It took several years to transform the idea behind this solution into a market-ready product.

Great design at a great price. Our product developers, technicians and suppliers teamed up to make a complex manufacturing technique affordable. The result is FJÄLLBERGET, an office chair that combines comfort and quality withgreat design.

Innovations for affordable design

We believe that all people have the right to good design at affordable prices. To achieve this, we use the right combination of form, function, quality, sustainability and a low price. We call it Democratic Design.

Innovations for sustainability

At IKEA, making more from less goes back to our roots. Together with our suppliers, we try new ways to make more out of the resources we use. We look for more sustainable solutions by improving production processes, avoiding waste and reinventing materials. And the best thing is, that using resources more efficiently is not only good for the planet, but for cutting costs as well.

More sustainable dyeing techniques

Together with our textile suppliers, IKEA continuously explores how to innovate conventional dyeing processes but also develop new techniques that will improve the environmental footprint. In textile dyeing there’s no “one technique fits all”, as different materials and colours respond best to different techniques. Since the majority of our textile production occurs in water-scarce countries, it is more important than ever to rethink how we dye our textiles to minimise the amount of water, energy and chemicals used. For people and the planet.

Dope dyeing

In dope dyeing the colour pigments become part of the fibre, so there is no need to use water to colour the fabric. As a bonus, the colour quality and durability of the product is improved.

All in all, the dope dyeing
technique has led to a total annual
saving of 300,000 tonnes of water
at the supplier.

Printing that saves water

Many of the patterns in our textiles are printed with a pigment print - which skips a large washing step during production. This method reduces water consumption by 30-40% compared with the reactive printing technique. For example, for a single duvet cover with a pillow case at least 30 litres of water can be saved.
