IKEA is turning 40, and has marked the occasion by releasing a range of limited-edition merch, embarking on 40 weeks of deals, and adding a 'time machine' to its website.

While I enjoyed discovering what happened when IKEA made its US debut (metric measurements caused chaos, and a load of customers ended up with the wrong-sized kitchen cabinets), and learning the history of the brand's famous meatballs (the earliest version was the result of a delicious "10 months of testing and tasting"), the 40th birthday feature I most enjoyed diving into was IKEA's collection of iconic products.
