Deboehmler said many, including the company's chair and sofa products, are named after Swedish towns. "So when you're driving around in Sweden," she laughed, "you suddenly see this town name that's a sofa."
And what of the range of hardware that's used to put IKEA products together? There are seemingly dozens of different screws, bolts, fasteners, studs, and so forth.
In fact, Marston said that IKEA tries to minimize the amount of hardware used in product designs. In part, that's because many products are made in multiple factories serving many countries.
"A number of years ago," Marston said, "somebody had the bright idea that if we narrowed down our catalog of hardware that we use in our products, then we can be even more efficient."
The design teams also look for ways to make the products stand out.
That's why when designing the Lillberg chair, the team chose to incorporate what is called a "dovetail joint," which involves two pieces of wood that interlock using fingers of wood pushed together.
"It's quite a difficult thing to do on a production line," Deboehmler said. "We didn't know if we could pull it off, but we managed."
And the advantage of doing so?
"It's a design feature on very high-end furniture," Marston said, "and someone who has knowledge of high-end furniture would recognize that as an attribute."
The company is also looking for ways to maximize warehouse efficiency.
"We have (only) two pallet sizes," Marston said, referring to the wooden platforms on which goods are placed. "Our warehouses are dimensioned and designed to hold these two pallet sizes. It's all about efficiencies because that helps keep the price of innovation down."
In Europe, some IKEA warehouses utilize robots to "pick the goods," a term of art for grabbing products off very high shelves.
These factories, Marston said, are dark, since no lighting is needed for the robots, and run 24 hours a day, picking and moving goods around.
"You (can) stand on a catwalk," she said, "and you look out at this huge warehouse with 12 pallets (stacked on top of each other) and this robot's running back and forth running on electronic eyebeams."
At any given time, Deboehmler said, IKEA will likely be in the process of creating 5 to 10 new products, some of which are for the current year, and some for next or the one after that.
"It's an ongoing process," she said. "There's no real beginning and end to the year cycle. It's continual."
