The company is known for its modern architectural designs for various types of appliances and furniture, and its interior design work is often associated with an eco-friendly simplicity. In addition, the firm is known for its attention to cost control, operational details, and continuous product development, corporate attributes that allowed Ikea to lower its prices by an average of two to three percent over the decade to 2010 during a period of global expansion.
