Our business is about developing products. Sit down in your POÄNG armchair or have a closer look at your BILLY bookcase, MALM chest of drawers or another IKEA product that you just cannot live without. Have an even closer look, feel the material. What do you imagine it takes to make that product? 

Our product development goes throughout the value chain, working with materials, innovating new materials, developing products with our suppliers, right there on the factory floor, or online. We find new techniques to assemble and de-assemble furniture so that they can be a part of your life, for long.
