Dutch designer and cabinetmaker Friso Wiersma never believed he would wind up working for Ikea. “I have a lot of suspicion towards mass production, although I find it remarkable,” he states, “For my graduate job from the Design Academy Eindhoven, I asked myself the concern: what would I create if I was an Ikea designer? And my action was rather vital!” Then a year later on, he got a call from the company. “They said, ‘Hey, we heard you like to be vital of us. How about you come and be crucial over here in Sweden?'”
