In 1948 IKEA introduces furniture in their range. The furniture was produced by the local manufacturers in the forest closest to Ingvar Kamprad’s home. The response to the furniture was a positive one. Kamprad first started to sell the products out of his home and then he used mail order to deliver the products to his customer’s homes. In 1951 Kamprad saw an opportunity to sell his products through a catalog. The IKEA catalog which we know today was introduced to the world. 1n 1953 the first IKEA showroom was opened in Almhult, Sweden. In 1952 the concept of flat packing takes place and when one of the employees of the company took of a table’s leg so that it would not be damaged in the delivering process and it can also fit in the car. After discovering this, the flat packs and self assembly products were included in the IKEA’s range of products and they became an instant hit. In 1958 IKEA opens its first outlet in Almhult, Sweden. This outlet had 6700 sq meters of home furnishings displayed in that store and that was the largest .display of furniture in the Scandinavia at that time.
