"Ultimate Factories" excerpt: Inside Ikea

By Rain Noe - November 20, 2009

in Tech

We'd love to see the introduction of a television program about industrial design that isn't an annoying reality show, but until that day comes, we'll happily settle for National Geographic's awesome "Ultimate Factories." Check out this excerpt from their inside look at an Ikea factory, where we can see what makes the LACK table so rigid: board-on-frame technology, similar to what's inside hollow-core doors. It's one thing to understand the technology, which is not that complicated; but it's super-cool to see it being cranked out at the factory.
