- ape4 13y agoI think the Ikea products are named after places.
- ygra 13y agoDepends on the products, many are places, some are given names, etc.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikea#Product_names http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikea#Product_names
- Cederfjard 13y agoSome are, others are more or less punny/witty/semi-relevant nouns/adjectives/adverbs. One example I remember from the quiz is the oven called "Dåtid", which sort of means "past time". Edit: Of course there's a relevant section on the Wikipedia page, should've guessed. :) Edit 2: Never knew there was such a system to it!
