How Ikea Furniture Started
Ikea furniture has a long history that did not begin with furniture originally. Ikea began when Ingvar Kamprad in Sweden founded the company in 1943.
Kamprad originally sold all sorts of things like pens, wallets, watches, jewellery and anything he thought would sell well. And he was well ahead of his time, selling everything by mail order or directly from his home – the beginning of what we now know as online shopping through the internet.
It was not until 1948 that Ikea added furniture to the line and in 1955; Ikea began its own furniture line. In 1963, the first Ikea store opened selling easy to assemble Ikea furniture at a price everyone could afford. This was the beginning of one of the most famous flat pack furniture company’s in the world.
