Why did IKEA change the kitchen range?

FAKTUM was our kitchen range for 20 years, up until 2014, and we found that developing the range further would have added complexity to the design and increased the prices, making it more difficult and expensive for our customers to design their perfect kitchen.

At IKEA we continuously develop our product range to meet our customers’ needs and provide the best offer on the market.

FAKTUM was our kitchen range for 20 years, up until 2014, and we found that developing the range further would have added complexity to the design and increased the prices, making it more difficult and expensive for our customers to design their perfect kitchen. Whereas METOD has been designed with a modular approach allowing for individual solutions with better use of space and increased functionality for all the activities taking place in kitchens of all shapes and sizes.
