IKEA RYET LED light bulb

The product in the image is an IKEA RYET LED light bulb, specifically an 11W E27 dimmable model identified by its distinctive orange packaging and filament-style bulb graphic. IKEA, a global home furnishing giant originally from Sweden, entered the LED lighting market heavily in the early 2010s and committed to selling only LED lighting by 2015 to promote sustainability.

While the brand is Swedish in origin and design, the manufacturing of its light bulbs is primarily outsourced to specialized electronics and lighting factories in China. This allows IKEA to maintain low price points while meeting global safety and efficiency standards. The brand is managed by Inter IKEA Systems B.V., which owns the intellectual property, while retail operations are largely handled by the Ingka Group.

Ownership of the IKEA brand is structured through a series of foundations and holding companies designed for long-term independence and tax efficiency. The ultimate owner is the Interogo Foundation, based in Liechtenstein, which controls Inter IKEA Holding B.V. in the Netherlands. This structure ensures that the brand remains focused on its original mission of providing affordable home solutions for many people.
