Now the home furnishings retailer is experimenting with products that allow people to harvest food at home.
Space10, Ikea's innovation lab, has designed a prototype of a mini-farm that can grow greens and herbs indoors.
Called Lokal, it uses a hydroponic farming system - allowing crops to grow on trays under LEDs in a climate-controlled box. Space10 debuted the device in September at the London Design Festival in Shoreditch.
