I found these images over at another blog ikketikketheo.wordpress.com.
"My parents like to keep the annual IKEA catalogs – it says it is the most printed book (edit: printed publication) after the bible. Yesterday my mum showed me this…. the IKEA catalog from the year 1965."
What a great found!!! IKEA was always amazing! I just can't wait to receive my 2010 catalog I've command :o) Must arrive soon!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Ikea has been around that long. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteAwesome find! I love browsing at IKEA.
ReplyDeleteAnd look, the catalogue is typeset (mostly) in Futura! It makes me all the sadder about this: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1919127,00.html
ReplyDeleteI hardly see how IKEA using verdana changes their eye for good design in the home. Perhaps it's just me, but I really don't care what typeface they use on anything as long as their furniture still looks good.
ReplyDeleteOMG - I only heard of Ikea a few years ago as they didn't have one around me! It's funny how a lot of it looks the same as it does now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool find!! I didnt realize that they had been in business that long. I love how the items from that era are so timeless style wise. Very inspiring. THnaks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it had been around that long either. It's amazing that it has kept so consistent.
Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I always wanted to keep these catalogs and make a collection but my man laugh at me so badly I gave up the idea immediately (totally spineless I am sometimes...)
This is so inspirational and for me - vintage-retro lover - a must have!!
I won't give up this time and will start keep em!!
