Even before the pandemic, consumers were moving away from in-person shopping, and big-box stores have struggled to adjust. But Ikea is doubling down on its digital strategy to establish itself as more than just a suburban retail outlet—it wants to be a virtual one-stop shop for consumers' design needs. This was already in the works before the spread of coronavirus, but the fact that everyone is stuck at home—and desperate to redesign their spaces—makes it even more timely. "Everything is being accelerated so quickly.
