IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad dead at 91, company says

IKEA Sverige, the chain's Swedish unit, said on Twitter that Kamprad died Saturday at his home in Smaland, Sweden.

"He will be much missed and warmly remembered by his family and IKEA staff all around the world," the company said.

The estate inventory filed to Swedish tax authorities in 2013 confirmed that the couple lived comfortably, but hardly in opulence.
They had two cars — a 2008 Skoda and a 1993 Volvo 240.
Not only that.
He bought his clothes from second hand stores:)
He hardly gave any interviews but had always time to speak with his employees.
"Per-Albin created the people's home - Ingvar Kamprad furnished it"
Per-Albin and "Folkhemmet" explained https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folkhemmet
And inventor of the allen key.

In Israel, the furniture giant Ikea has great success and now the company is investing in religious Jews. These are to be attracted to the department store with kosher food and a synagogue among the Billybok shelves, the Ingolf chairs and the Klippan sofas.

do they need instructions to construct his coffin?
or is he being cremated?

The giver of stress and many headaches has gone. Who now picks up the scepter to publish those vague instructions manuals.
