Ikea is a franchise that can be found all over the world and has made a huge success with the products they sell. Ikea's furniture is found in a lot of high class housing magazines and is now being seen in the art industry, in museums and now in the daily news. How does a simple neighborhood warehouse become worldwide and popular? I, being a proud consumer of Ikea products, can say that buying furniture and appliances becomes a lot easier at Ikea. Aside from the easy assembly of furniture, the style they produce in there products bring an artistic look to any room you desire. Ikea has always been known for there sleek design in table and chairs but it was a shock to me to hear that they had been producing furniture that was good enough to be seen in museums. Does this have something to say about the new designs of today? It seems like Ikea has begun a whole new era for design from TV’s to automobiles. We notice how TV's are becoming thin, shiny and more compact. The same can be said for furniture. If we were to compare a high class house from 1999 to 2010 there would be many significant differences. You would notice that in 1999 the chandlers would be a lot longer, wider and denser. Whereas in 2010 the chandler would look thinner and more abstract. In my opinion simplicity is the key to any design because it allows us to focus more on certain aspects.

Ikea has made a huge name for itself not only as a furniture store but also as an artistic style.
