After hosting its first-ever online festival, IKEA is now introducing IKEA Museum Digital as a web destination for looking back on some of the most iconic catalogs and furniture designs from the Swedish retailer. According to IKEA, this virtual museum is "the most extensive online source of knowledge and facts about the Swedish home furnishing brand."
The digital museum, available in English and Swedish, is a destination for finding the stories about the company's history, its founders, designs from the 40s, as well as decades upon decades of catalogs. With this museum, IKEA fans will also get the chance to look upon content that has never been shared before. The resource promises to be particularly interesting to fans of the brand who also happen to have a passion for design and product development.
