Founded in 1943 by 17-year-old Ingvar Kamprad at his uncle's kitchen table in Sweden, IKEA (an acronym of Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd) began selling items like picture frames and nylon stockings before adding furniture in 1948. Since 2008, IKEA has been the world's largest furniture retailer, expanding beyond furniture into audio products. Their SYMFONISK series, a collaboration with Sonos launched in 2019, sold 30,000 speakers on day one and includes bookshelf speakers ($120), lamp speakers ($169+), and floor lamp speakers - marking IKEA's first non-IKEA product sold in stores. The ENEBY series represents IKEA's own-brand speakers (8-inch/$70, 12-inch/$100, portable/$25), developed by their audio division in Älmhult, Sweden. These audio products combine IKEA's signature minimalist design with affordable pricing, targeting customers without Wi-Fi or those seeking budget-friendly options. Through strategic partnerships and in-house development, IKEA successfully blends furniture functionality with quality sound systems, maintaining their mission of democratic design and accessibility while expanding into the home audio market from their Swedish roots.
