The one shop that was still open past 8 pm: HEMMAKVÄLL. A shop selling all kinds of sweets! Even Hershey’s chocolate, but hardly Swiss one. I found one kind of Lindt’s only. weiterlesen Sweet Swedes – HEMMAKVÄLL

Once 70% of all matchboxes were made in Jönköping, Sweden, from local asp wood. Have a look at a matchbox – may be the matches are imported from Sweden? href=“https:///phone/6155444482″>615-544-4482 615-544-5594
IKEA Museum
A dull, rainy and cool day – time for a museum. We had the choice between glass and IKEA, and we opted for IKEA and drove to Älmhult where IKEA’s first shop was opened in 1958. The museum displays IKEA’s (and Ingvar Kamprads) history, but shows also about life in Sweden in the early 20th century and its changes after the war.
Although we’re not big IKEA clients I found this visit very informative and impressing. Ingvar Kamprad and his philosophy reminded me a lot Gottlieb Duttweiler, founder of Migros. Both sold goods for less money, were boycotted for that and had to find (and found) their ways for own products and further development. weiterlesen IKEA Museum
