(IKEA IN SWEDISH)
When a guy named Ingvar Kamprad founded Ikea, he decided to name the furniture with proper names and words, so it would be easier to remember.
Well, easier for Swedes. Too bad he didn't predict his company would be all over the world, leaving the rest of us clueless when it comes to the names. So learn how Swedes pronounce them and stop sounding ridiculous.
A small group of friends with big ideas made this. We were thinking this project would be somewhat of a fun, educational piece. Only two of us are actually Swedish, but the group's from all over the place.
We're nice people. Don't believe it? Email us ▸
