The Never Ending List #13

A flat-packed sofa? All that comfort, now
in a smaller box!
Big Sofas that Travel Smaller

The EKTORP sofa is one of our most popular products. It’s also one of the bulkiest, making it hard to transport in an efficient and environmentally sound way. Recently we made EKTORP a customer assembly piece, or “Flat Pack.”

We don’t design flat packs to sell more but to save more. Flat packs mean optimized loads and fewer transports, which reduces emissions. Our use of recyclable packaging requiring minimal raw material helps, too. Brown cardboard is one of our best friends – it saves costs and the environment.

The number of shipments of the EKTORP sofa dropped, and transport costs and carbon dioxide emissions decreased...

But it’s still the same comfy, cozy EKTORP that’s been loved for years.
