Brand origin and manufacturing country

IKEA is a home-furnishing brand created in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. Its identity is closely tied to Swedish design, flat-pack self-assembly furniture and large-scale retailing; today IKEA operates through an international franchise system. This does not mean every IKEA product is manufactured in one country. International companies can operate factories and supply chains in many countries, so the most reliable source for a specific product is its label or manufacturer documentation.

Good to know: a brand’s country of origin and the manufacturing country of a particular product may differ.
