Exterior of Ikea
Designed in Sweden 1943
The architecture of Ikea stores consist of plain yellow and blue walls on a large geometric buildings. This is similar to the Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore designed by John A. Johnsen which reveals the buildings inner structure rather than making the outside pleasing to the eye, an idea known as "commercial vernacular". Both Ikea and the Theatre do not have windows, which makes the exterior as simple as possible. This is unlike the style that Best Products use using in 1977 that favored decoration, and had Hawaiian print on the outside of the building.
