2007 IKEA Catalog

July 28th, 2006

Kct

Next week the the magazine that all Swedes are waiting for will be stuffed
into mailboxes from the far north of Lapland to the southern Skånsk beaches.

After luring so many to redo bathrooms and kitchens, Ikea is set to
dominate the wardrobe market, asking the public to “come into the
closet”.

On Thursday, Ikea presented it new catalogue.

“The past years push on bedrooms and kitchens has gone really well,” said Jeanette
Söderberg, head of Ikea Sweden. “Both the paper Vi I Villa and we have done
investigations that show many want to put more time in their storage, especially
younger people.”

Ikea is planning on lowering prices 5 percent and some
30 percent on wardrobes.

IKEA Plant-A-Tree Cool the Globe

July 27th, 2006

One more reason to *heart* IKEA:

Pln_1“IKEA, an international leader in promoting sustainable business practices,
has teamed up with American Forests to clean the air and sequester carbon
through tree planting. The average American family needs to plant 30 trees to
offset the CO2 produced by their daily energy use. By planting your trees now,
you will join IKEA and American Forests in planting trees to offset CO2 and cool
the globe.

Our focus is to offset the CO2 emitted from cars traveling to and from IKEA
stores. Each IKEA store will plant enough trees (about 33,100 trees each year)
to offset the annual CO2 emissions produced by IKEA co-workers and IKEA visitors
driving to the store each year. IKEA’s offset trees be planted in AMERICAN
FORESTS Global ReLeaf projects around the US.”
