About IKEA Delft 
The IKEA Delft store has always been a bit different and has played different roles. 

It has worked as part of the IKEA Concept Centre, the global hub and source of know-how. It has been a pilot store, testing out ideas developed here and around the rest of the IKEA world. And most recently it took on the new challenge to become the first IKEA Reference Store. IKEA Reference Stores support and inspire IKEA retailers and customer meeting points to implement the IKEA Concept in the best way. 

Right now, the IKEA Delft is transforming in an omnichannel retailer in its market. This will be the main assignment for the next few years. 

Interested?
