Project Leader | IKEA Components

About us 

At IKEA, we do things a little differently. We think differently, act differently, and work differently as well. We like to break conventions and make inventions. And then make things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even furniture that you can simply assemble with a “klick”. It’s all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. And it has been keeping our co-workers going for over 80 years. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home.
