Ikea looks set to open more small stores in the UK
He said the small format experiment was part of that change.
“More people are living in cities. In London, fewer people have a car,” Mr Quinones said.
It’s part of a global trend, he added, hence Ikea will also trial its small outlets – called Planning Studios – in New York, Shanghai and Riyadh.
He could not give details of the small-format expansion in the UK. But he said the existing outlet, in Tottenham Court Road, “will hopefully be the first of many”.
