Life at home
Home is the most important place in the world. And we never stop wondering what happens there.
Inspired by our vision to create a better everyday life for the many people, we're passionate about the lives they live at home. Endlessly curious about how people live, how home makes them feel, and what gets in the way. The frustrations and the joys. And the different needs people have - both the visible ones and those that are harder to put into words.
That curiosity has built a depth of home furnishing knowledge that shapes everything we do: from solutions and ideas to products designed to combine form, function, quality, sustainability and a low price. All to make a better home within reach for the many, not just the few.
Home visits
It started with a knock on the door in 1960, and we've been visiting people at home ever since. We sit at their kitchen tables, open their cupboards, and ask the questions that go beyond "what" – to "why". Why does the living room never quite work? Why does storage always feel like a battle? Because only by understanding the reasons can we find solutions that make a real difference. These conversations happen in homes all over the world, every year – never failing to turn up new and interesting insights on life at home.
