IKEA U.S. 40th anniversary celebration

Hej! To kick off our 40th anniversary, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, celebrating the spaces we’ve helped create and inviting you to see how we’ve been Dreaming the Possibilities for the last four decades.

IKEA 40th anniversary celebration

Celebrating 40 years of making dreams possible

The first IKEA store opened in the U.S. 40 years ago! Since 1985, we’ve helped bring your dream spaces to life with stylish design and affordable prices. Join us as we celebrate with in-store events and giveaways, limited-edition merch and a nostalgic look back through the decades. Plus, explore new possibilities with special deals on some of our most iconic products. Let’s celebrate big dreams, small dreams and every dream in between. 

Throwback products

From first apartment to forever favorite, these iconic IKEA products have stood the test of time.

Hop inside the IKEA time machine

Forty years ago, IKEA touched down in the United States and things have never been the same again. Take a scroll through the past four decades of history and revisit some of our biggest moments. Let’s go!

Give back with the Nytillverkad collection

Thanks to you, we reached our goal of $40,000! In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we donated 40% from every product purchased from the Nytillverkad collection to Family Promise, a nonprofit helping families facing homelessness and housing instability.
