Dyslexia won’t stop us from doing anything. In fact, our different way of thinking often gives us a unique perspective on things, just like Ingvar Kamprad showed the world!
The rules for naming IKEA items were devised by IKEA's founder Ingvar Kamprad, who struggled with dyslexia and had trouble remembering the order of numbers in item codes.
The name IKEA itself is an acronym for Ingvar, Kamprad, Elmtaryd (his family's farm) and Agunnaryd (the village in Småland where he grew up in).
In fact, the unique IKEA naming system came about due to Ingvar’s dyslexia. Because Ingvar had trouble reading and remembering item codes, he simplified it so that products are named after a specific Swedish word based on the type of product.
For instance, outdoor furniture is named after Scandinavian islands.
Rugs are named after towns in Denmark or Sweden.
Bed and bath accessories are named after flowers and plants.
Beds are named after areas in Norway.
Shelves are named after occupations or boys' names, while fabrics and curtains are female names.
So while it may look strange at first glance, to the dyslexia thinker, this makes perfect sense!
