Swedish Furnishing Chain IKEA commissioned a special headscarf for its female Muslim staff. The firm indicated that the increasing number of Muslim staff lead them to design a headscarf with an IKEA logo on it, to enable female Muslim employees to wear the hijab in their workplace.

The headscarves were first been introduced at Ikea’s London stores. IKEA named the headscarf “IKEA-HIJAB” and they will soon come into use in IKEA stores in other countries as well."
