IKEA: Modularizing Design and Value
IKEA’s vision is to “create a better every day life for the many people”[1], aiming to bring good design to as many people as possible. As CEO Mikael Ohlsson once said, IKEA’s goal is to offer “people with limited means the ability to furnish their houses like rich people”[2].
