Furniture for the masses

Founded in 1943, the Swedish company IKEA designs and produces furniture and domestic objects. Products are typically inexpensive and space efficient, and the company has pioneered easily transportable, flat-pack furniture. This 2003 IKEA catalogue with a studio apartment on the cover was one of a print run of 131 million copies. At the time it was the most widely distributed commercial publication in the world.
