There is a system behind the IKEA names dhe IKEA names sound like funny word creations to us - but the Swedish company's naming is based on a system. And once you've figured it out, it's actually quite logical! And you can even expand your geographical knowledge along the way. Here's an overview of how the often funny IKEA names come about: Bookshelves, sofas and coffee tables=Swedish place names Garden furniture=Swedish islands Beds and wardrobes=Norwegian place names Dining tables and chairs=Finnish place names Carpets=Danish place names Bathroom items=Scandinavian rivers, lakes and bays Children's articles=animals and adjectives Chairs and desks=male names Fabrics and curtains=women's names Bookshelf series=occupation
