IKEA Malm chest of drawers

The MALM series is one of IKEA's most iconic and enduring furniture lines, embodying the minimalist Scandinavian design principles that the brand is known for globally. Originally developed by IKEA of Sweden, the range focuses on clean lines and functional storage. IKEA maintains a diverse global supply chain to support its high-volume production, meaning these pieces are manufactured in several countries including Poland, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, and China, depending on regional distribution needs.

Founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943, IKEA has grown from a small mail-order business into the world's largest furniture retailer. The brand is ultimately owned by the Inter IKEA Group based in the Netherlands, which oversees the franchising and intellectual property, while the majority of retail operations are managed by the Ingka Group. This structure ensures the brand's long-term stability and adherence to its democratic design philosophy.
