SWEDISH FURNITURE GIANT LANDS ON PH

It’s probably one of the most anticipated store openings in the country.

Eight years after news first broke out that Ikea will be setting up shop in the country, the Swedish furniture giant finally opened its doors to excited Pinoys on Nov. 25. And it couldn’t have come at a more opportune time, right when many of us are giving our homes a makeover, whether it’s for the Christmas season, a (hopefully) more favorable new year, or to simply make it a lot more comfortable and sustainable, especially after we’ve endured most of the past 20 months indoors.

Officially, the Philippines is now home to the biggest Ikea branch in the world. While the typical Ikea store in other countries measures 35,000 sqm, ours is almost double that size at some 68,000 sqm of space.

It is proof of strong confidence in the local market comprised of a young population, a growing middle class, and a robust real estate industry that has seen continued launches of residential, office and commercial projects.

Located within the SM

Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City, the supersized store is filled with every imaginable furniture, fixture or decor that you’d need—or want—for your home. This has thrilled many Filipinos who have long been fans of the brand’s distinct Scandinavian aesthetic marked by clean, simple lines and functionality without sacrificing beauty.

Great pieces for your living spaces aside, a unique experience awaits shoppers in Ikea. You can choose to get your items from the store or shop conveniently and safely thru its website, Ikea.ph.

If you’d rather shop onsite and feel intimidated by the self-service shopping concept, there are service kiosks throughout the store to help you. Or you can simply ask anyone of the 500 Ikea co-workers for some guidance.

Today, we no longer have to rely on “pasabuys” courtesy of family and friends who have access to Ikea stores abroad. Those timeless, easy-to-assemble, value for money yet quality Ikea pieces are simply a click or a car ride away.
