We often say that Elfa’s soul arose from a brilliant idea, as if it were a eureka moment or a bolt of lightning. It didn’t happen like that, of course. In 1948, pretty much everyone felt a real and urgent need for change in their everyday lives. The ideas that formed what Elfa is today sprung out of real life, from real people and their daily chores and struggles.
Elfa provides a storage system created to fit people’s individual needs throughout life. Our product portfolio includes customized sliding doors as well as wall-hung or free-standing wardrobe interiors – all in sustainable, functional design of the highest quality.
The company was founded in 1948 and has been owned since 1999 by The Container Store, the USA’s largest storage products retail chain. The Container Store is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Elfa has three factories and seven sales companies in Europe.
