<br/><br/> Sara Kristoffersson's compelling study provides a sustained critical history of IKEA. She argues that the company's commercial success has been founded on a neat alignment of the brand with a particular image of Swedish national identity - one that is bound up with ideas of social democracy and egalitarianism - and its material expression in a pared-down, functional design aesthetic.
