Our shared vision is our greatest motivator – to create a better everyday life for the many people. Nearly 200,000 IKEA co-workers – and many other contributors - are dedicated to bringing this to life. The IKEA culture and values shape everything we do. Our enthusiasm, togetherness and willpower stem from our roots in southern Sweden and are inspired by IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad. We share a business idea: to offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.
