New 2019 IKEA Catalog Marks 75 Years of Delivering a Better Everyday Life at Home
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (PRWEB) July 30, 2018 -- IKEA announced today the release of the 2019 IKEA U.S. catalog as the iconic Swedish home furnishings retailer marks its 75th anniversary. Filled with new product offerings, home furnishing inspiration, and smart solutions for every area of the home, the 2019 IKEA catalog will be available to the public starting this August. Celebrating how differently we all live and 75 years of enabling a better everyday life at home for the many, this year’s catalog features seven distinct homes representing a wide range of styles, sizes and budgets.
From a space-limited apartment serving a large family to a home totally dedicated to eco-friendly choices, the newest IKEA catalog highlights products and solutions that can help everyone achieve a better everyday life at home, no matter how they live.
“For 75 years we have been driven by the belief that furniture can be affordable without sacrificing principles of quality, design and sustainability,” said Shideh Hashemi, Marketing Manager, IKEA U.S. “In our 2019 catalog, we are thrilled to introduce a multitude of exciting new products that stay true to our heritage, providing form and function that’s both easy on our wallets and our planet.”
Each of the seven homes featured in the 2019 catalog, which have their own unique backstories and living situations, were derived from insights in the IKEA 2018 Life at Home Report. The annual in-depth research study behind the report includes a series of home visits, interviews and surveys from consumers around the world to better understand both the joys and challenges of life today. The insights gleaned from the report not only inspired the fictional homes in the 2019 catalog, but also the new products featured throughout its pages.
