The history of IKEA, the furniture and the designers. And what does IKEA stand for in Swedish?

We're taking you on a tour through the early history of IKEA. Let's take a look at how one man from a small village in Sweden were able to build a furniture empire. We will show you the early furniture and some of the many designers. IKEA is known for their many copies of for example the classic Thonet chair and the Philip Arctander's Clam chair but also for their original and cheap design pieces!
