Today I headed to IKEA for some apartment-related purchases. IKEA furniture has been a staple of my apartment décor for the past eight years, so I figured I might as well keep that ball rolling. Plus, it turns out that Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, has a home in Lausanne, so perhaps that’s a sign in itself that I should stay loyal to the brand.
As you can see from the picture, the standardized format of IKEA furniture extends to its store design as well. If there weren’t the welcome sign in French, this probably could have easily passed for a picture of an IKEA in some U.S. suburb.
Given that I don’t have a car, the trip home was definitely a workout. Carrying two bulky IKEA packages made for an awkward journey. Fortunately the IKEA is adjacent to the train station and I didn’t have to cover a ton of ground on foot at any point.
