What is Democratic Design

Democratic Design is our approach for designing, developing and evaluating IKEA home furnishing products.

Democratic Design is our need to create products that have beautiful design, good function, are sustainable, of good quality and are available at a low price. We call it “Democratic Design”, because we believe good home furnishing is for everyone.
