Home is the most important place in the world, and children its most important people.

IKEA is a home furnishings company founded in Älmhult in southern Sweden in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad who began by peddling useful items to neighbours on his bicycle. Since its inception, the IKEA company vision has been to create a better everyday life for the many people, by offering a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishings at prices so low that as many people as possible can afford them.

IKEA holds fast to the belief that home is the most important place in the world and children its most important people. Today, IKEA stores total over 320 in 38 countries and territories worldwide welcoming 626 million visitors each year.
