The Most Popular IKEA Products

in #life7 years ago

It's no secret that IKEA has a huge fan following around the world. The company releases some 2,500 new products annually, but since the Swedish ready-to-assemble furniture company was founded in 1943, some favorite products have emerged and stood the test of time. These are not necessarily the best-selling overall — it’s hard to calculate that since not all products are sold internationally and some have a limited release — but rather the top-selling products in an array of individual categories, like armchairs or bed frames.

The Färgrik mug

"When I designed the Färgrik series, I wanted to make a simple, functional service that would suit all situations and all occasions," says the piece's designer, Maria Vinka. The stoneware Färgrik mug goes with any kitchen color scheme — plain and simple. Plus, if one crashes on the floor you won't break the bank replacing it.
