I miss Ikea

Alas, Ikea doesn’t exist here in Colorado. I’ve always enjoyed the store, the interesting furniture, the cheap knick-knacks, the … interesting names.

It’s mildly reassuring that all those product names actually follow a system. For example, dining tables and chairs are named after Finnish placenames, while bathroom articles are named after Scandinavian bodies of water.

But, of course, it being the Swedes, would you expect any less than a cryptic but rigorous sense of organization?
