IKEA

 

 

IKEA Founded in Sweden 1943 .

The logo is an acronym made up of four letters: I K E A.
I is for Ingvar, the first name of the founder of IKEA stores.
K is for Kamprad, the last name of the founder of IKEA stores.
E is for Elmtaryd, the name of the farm where Ingvar Kamprad grew up.
A is for Agunnaryd, the name of the village near Kamprad's boyhood home.
That's where the name IKEA came from!

It's no accident that the IKEA logo is blue and yellow.
These are the colours of the Swedish flag.
