The first IKEA catalogue was printed back in 1951 and at that time it was only available in good ol’Sweden. Just recently the IKEA catalogue for 2010, the 59th edition, was printed and distributed all around the world. Today it’s printed in close to 200 million copies and shipped to 38 countries. Being a Swede I’m of course very proud of IKEA’s success and it’s quite interesting to look in the older editions. Here’s a couple of snapshots from the 15th edition and some of the furnitures are really trendey! Check it out over at ikke tikke theo.
