About this product
Product Information
Sara Kristoffersson's compelling study provides the first sustained critical history of IKEA. Kristoffersson argues that the company's commercial success has been founded on a neat alignment of the brand with a particular image of Swedish national identity - one that is bound up with ideas of social democracy and egalitarianism - and its material expression in a pared-down, functional design aesthetic. Employing slogans such as Design for everyone and Democratic design , IKEA signals a rejection of the stuffy, the 'chintzy', and the traditional in both design practices and social structures. Drawing on original research in the IKEA company archive and interviews with IKEA personnel, Design by IKEA traces IKEA's symbolic connection to Sweden, through its design output and its promotional materials, to examine how the company both promoted and profited from the concept of Scandinavian Design.

The item was exactly as described. Extra care & effort was made as my parcel was originally delivered to the wrong address. (By the postie.) It was then returned to sender & very quickly mailed back to me again. (Postie got the house right this time). The seller informed me immediately so communication was excellent. Definitely recommend.
