By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/the-history-of-home-design-in-all-its-glory-ikea-catalogs-from-1951-to-2000.htmlIKEA Furniture Corporation has always kept up with the times, remaining the best friend of every home and dictating interior trends decade after decade. Its founder Ingvar Kamprad created the company in 1943, when he was only 17 years old. The first catalog of the brand was published in 1951, 3 years after furniture appeared in the IKEA assortment (before that, the company sold stationery by mail), and 7 years before the opening of the first store in the Swedish city of Elmhult.
We present an archive of historical catalog covers from 1951 to 2000: this is how the interior trends of the twentieth century changed.
