STOCKHOLM - IKEA named insider Jon Abrahamsson Ring to succeed Torbjorn Loof as chief executive of the world’s biggest furniture brand on Tuesday as it adapts to seismic shifts in shopping.

“With a new IKEA direction and a solid franchise system in place, it’s a good time for Torbjorn to hand over responsibility,” Inter IKEA Group Chairman Anders Dahlvig said. “I think we could broaden the product range a bit in our lower price range,” Abrahamsson Ring said, adding that new materials, production techniques and distribution methods would help make IKEA “even more affordable”.

As long as it won't tip over to pin the active toddlers, it's good for sale.
