Should have known, Hennes & Mauritz!!

Another Swedish company - and very successful too!
They started out about same time as Ikea and just like Ikea they started selling all kinds of stuff on mail order.

Ikea's big hit: Ball Point pens right after the war, when it was invented by Hungarian Biró.

The founders are old buddies and have been fighting out many issues in court before they split ways with Ikea betting on furniture and H&M on fashion.

I should have known, embarrassing.
