One thing kalau kita perasan, barang-barang IKEA ni semua nama pelik-pelik. Tau tak kenapa?

Founder IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad ni ada dyslexia.

Biasalah bila ada dyslexia, certain things are difficult. Macam nak ingat nama, even nak sambung dua suku kata perkataan pun kadang-kadang struggle.

So dengan memberi nama tertentu dekat produk dia ni..

Boleh bantu dia untuk ingat line-up yang dia ada tu lah, perabut, kerusi.

Macam contoh, bookcase, nama Billy. Aku pun pelik kenapa Billy. haha.

Di katakan di ambil dari nama budak lelaki, Billy. Tak tahu la kenapa Billy. Mungkin Billy masa tu suka baca buku, lalu di beri nama Billy?

Kalaua karpet pula, nama bandar di Denmark dan Sweden.

Kalau perabut outdoor tu, nama pulau-pulau.

Based on Quartz, ini adalah nama convention untuk IKEA.
