Shocking Ikea flyer from 1985 shows VERY surprising prices... but not everything is what it seems
Swedish homewares giant Ikea is a household name and somehow, 40 years later after their first store opened in the U.S., some of their most popular furniture is even cheaper. A resurfaced flyer from 1985 has Allen-key enthusiasts agog at the price differences, with some of their most-loved furniture cheaper than what it was decades earlier. Shared to Reddit, the user showed four popular products and the price from the catalogue in comparison to what they are on the Ikea website in 2025. The first was the Billy bookcase - a staple in many houses all around the world. In 1985, the load-bearing piece piece retailed for $82, and now has decreased in price, selling for $69.99. The next piece was the simple Lack side table, selling for $25 in 1985. In 2025, the loved-item is retailing now for $9.99. A Klippan loveseat 40 years ago was a tad puffier, but a more streamlined model is now almost $100 cheaper, at $299. Lastly, the catalogue showed an armchair for $148, with the Poäng chair now only $69. The furniture giant pointed out their price cuts in an advertisement published in 2015, which celebrated 30 years of the store being in America and showed off their low prices. While the prices have risen in the last 10 years, they are still lower than the 1985 prices. Despite the cheaper prices, many users chimed in declaring the quality of the furniture is far worse in 2025. 'Surprised how everyone's complaining that IKEA furniture is made more cheaply now than it used to be,' commented one user. 'Like yeah, sure it is, but how many companies have made their product intentionally worse over the years while ALSO doubling or tripling the price? The fact that prices haven't changed much shows at least some integrity on their part.' 'I agree. And while IKEA doesn't make the most durable products on earth, they definitely still make better stuff than comparably-priced products you get at other stores (Amazon, Walmart, etc),' chimed in another. 'You can still get a decent, weighty dresser for $100 at IKEA, best alternative you'll find on Amazon is some super thin particle board with those dreadful fabric pseudo-drawers.' Others declared the Swedish furniture had stood the test of time. 'In general I think IKEA suffers from the reputation flat-pack furniture has that is caused by experiences with flat-pack made by literally any company other than IKEA,' one happy customer wrote. They continued: 'I've bought cheap non-IKEA flat-pack desks and cabinets and it's barely cheaper and so much worse. The parts don't fit together as well, the joints aren't as sturdy, and the instructions are inevitably so much harder to follow assembling it.' The showed four popular products and the price from the catalogue in comparison to what they are on the Ikea website in 2025 (pictured) In June, Ikea announced it was closing more of its smaller-format stores in both the UK and California, as the global retail shakeup continues to claim big names. Launched in 2023, the concept aimed to give customers a more tailored experience — with smaller showrooms where shoppers could meet with design specialists, place custom orders, and collect items. However, the company says the format no longer fits customer demand. The Swedish furniture giant confirmed it is shutting down three of its Plan & Order Points locations this month — two in the UK and one in the US. The Liverpool and Stockport stores closed last week, and the final US location in Long Beach is closing its doors forever in June. The first Ikea store opened in 1958 in Sweden, and expanded to the US in 1985. It has grown into a furniture empire and operates approximately 485 locations, 74 being in the US.

Biggest IKEA retailer names veteran Juvencio Maeztu CEO as Brodin steps down
LONDON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - The world's biggest retailer of IKEA furniture said on Wednesday CEO Jesper Brodin was stepping down after eight years, to be succeeded by Spaniard Juvencio Maeztu, the first non-Swede to lead the group. Maeztu takes the top job at Ingka Group as the Swedish retailer grapples with U.S. tariffs, wars and geopolitical tensions that risk disrupting its operations spanning 31 countries from Europe to China, India and the United States. Brodin, CEO since 2017, said his decision to step down was not easy, but that it was the right time to do so. Maeztu is to start in the new role by November 5, with Brodin staying at the company until the end of February to ease the transition. Deputy CEO and chief financial officer since 2018, Maeztu, 57, started at IKEA in 2001 as manager of the Alcorcon store in Madrid, later managing the Wembley store in London, before a six-year stint as CEO of IKEA India. "We've been riding through quite some storms together - pandemic, geopolitical issues, war, etcetera," Brodin, 56, told Reuters. "So in a way I feel proud of the things we have achieved but also super confident that the IKEA house is in good order and we'll be able to take off for the future with Juvencio." Under Brodin, Ingka Group invested heavily to improve online shopping for IKEA, driving the retailer's online sales up. Ingka also set new emissions reduction targets and reported in January that emissions fell by 30.1% from its 2016 baseline. Brodin said the appointment of Maeztu, who grew up in Cadiz and does not speak Swedish, shows IKEA's global culture works. The incoming CEO is setting off on a "listening tour" of its big blue stores around the world, starting in Asia, as he builds his strategy to grow the company which last year reported weaker net profit and revenue after slashing prices. "I am fully determined to make IKEA grow and to really be relevant for many millions more consumers around the world," Maeztu told Reuters. He has said tariffs make it harder for IKEA to keep prices low. Privately-held Ingka Group will report sales figures in mid-October for its financial year ending August 31. As the biggest franchisee, Ingka sells IKEA products manufactured by brand owner and franchiser Inter IKEA.

Bold, brilliant, blue: How 2027's colour of the year sets a new standard for brand activations
There's something undeniably magnetic about a bold, saturated colour when it takes over a physical space, and WGSN's Colour of the Year for 2027, Luminous Blue, proves this in spectacular fashion. Described as "both mysterious and eccentric," this rich, potent blue has become a beacon for brands daring enough to wield colour as a full-bodied storytelling tool in their activations. It's a hue that effortlessly balances versatility with vibrancy, making it an ideal brand experience anchor, where emotion, innovation, and functionality collide. Clare Smith, WGSN's senior colour strategist, calls Luminous Blue a tone with broad appeal, embodying the theme of 2027: the interconnectedness of polarities. This isn't just a pretty colour, it's a concept brought to life. The shade captures a tension between practicality and playfulness, seriousness and spirituality, science and emotion. When brands infuse a colour like this into their physical installations, they aren't just painting walls, they're conjuring up a mood, a mindset, a moment in culture. Ikea Hus of Frukta Credits: Studio Xag. Look no further than IKEA's Hus of Frukta pop-up on London's Oxford Street, which transformed the space into a saturated dreamscape of blue. An immersive nod to their iconic carrier bag but dialled up to theatrical scale. The overwhelming wash of tone was more than a visual stunt; it was a plunge into a world where colour dictates the pace, mood, and sensory engagement. The pop-up made the iconic IKEA blue feel alive, dynamic, and even playful, exactly what a physical brand activation should do. Burberry Harrods Takeover Credits: Burberry It's a move echoed in the luxury sphere as well. Burberry's Harrods takeover with their Knight Blue, a close cousin in the colour spectrum, demonstrated how a deep, compelling blue can elevate brand narrative while commanding attention. The depth of the shade lent a quiet power and sophistication, inviting visitors to linger and absorb the mood. Meanwhile, Tiffany & Co.'s pop-up in Paris, designed by OMA, leveraged a similar jewel-toned drama, mirroring the brilliance of their signature diamonds through sharp, reflective blues that felt simultaneously contemporary and timeless.

La Prairie's sleek, futuristic spaces bathed their skincare rituals in a cool, luminous glow, underscoring innovation and purity. Yves Saint Laurent's summer beauty oasis at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport used a rich, shimmering blue to craft an escape, a cocoon of calm and creativity amidst the bustle, proving that bold colour doesn't just arrest the eye, it soothes the soul. YSL Beauty Pop-Up, Paris Charles de Gaulle Credits: Moodie Davitt Report via Tim Nash For me, what makes a colour like Luminous Blue so impactful in physical activations is its ability to transcend simple decoration and become a vehicle for emotional connection. Colour, especially one as striking as this, activates memory and mood in ways that digital can only hint at. It invites interaction, encourages photo-worthy moments, and helps build a distinctive brand language that consumers can experience, not just see. It's tactile, immersive, and unforgettable. Looking ahead, the future is bright, or should I say, brilliantly blue. As brands increasingly seek to break through the noise with immersive, sensory-first activations, the power of bold, conceptually rich colour palettes will only grow. We can expect to see similar electrifying shades used not only to command attention but to build atmospheres that reflect brand ethos in multifaceted ways, from calming sanctuaries to high energy experience hubs. For brands ready to embrace this trend, it's about more than just slapping on a strong hue. It's about thoughtfully weaving it into the storytelling fabric of their spaces, creating moments that feel both intimate and expansive, playful yet profound. When wielded with confidence and creativity, colour becomes more than its tone: it's a cultural signifier, a mood-maker, and an invitation to engage deeper with a brand's world. In a period when physical retail must fight harder than ever for consumer attention, the use of colour can offer a vivid solution: captivating, connecting, and converting. And 2027's colour of the year, is more than ready to light the way.
