Literature
"STAFFAN: Personally, I´m impressed with the magnificent Impala sofa.
GILLIS: Ingvar and I made a bet. Ingvar said Impala would only sell 5 pieces. He was really sceptical. We wagared a bottle of whiskey. The sofa turned out to be a bestseller, and was manufactured in Skillingaryd by the brothers Granstrand. Ingvar slunk in dragging that whiskey bottle. But Impala was already discontinued by the next year - it was just too expensive to make."
Ur: Staffan Bengtsson, "IKEA - the book", Arvinius Förlag AB, 2010, s 20, 21.
