Come spring 2017, a trip to IKEA may feel like a trip to the future. Don't worry, the Swedish furniture manufacturer's staples will still be the foundation of their offerings, but you'll also find the company's newest PS Collection, a series of experimental products released every few years and intended to add interest and energy to the stores.

Herman Miller today announced the company's case againstLevi Cohen and Madison Seating has been settled, and all outstanding issues have been resolved.
Mr. Franklin and another shareholder, Charles Almond, are seeking unspecified damages, but their argument could, in theory, result in the court ordering that the merger be rescinded and DWR essentially carved out of the company. It is a long shot, but it would be a corporate do-over on a large scale.
Two years ago, when the legendary furniture manufacturer Herman Miller bought the once-troubled retailer Design Within Reach, it was largely seen as a triumph in the world of high-end furniture. Now, as the New York Times reports, a lawsuit against the Herman Miller claims that the $154 million merger never actually happened.
The lawsuit was brought by two of the company's shareholders, Andrew Franklin, president of the investment firm UTR, and Charles Almond, who claim that they lost money in the merger. But the details of the case uncovered something much larger: the accusation that, because of a series of technical mistakes, the merger is invalid.

Through the past two decades and more, they’ve evolved as unlikely but effectively inseparable business roomies and complementary colleagues in running such firms as footwear company Sam & Libby and Edelman Leather.
Staples Inc. will have to do more to smooth government opposition to its proposed takeover of Office Depot Inc. after the U.S. rejected its latest attempt to win antitrust approval.

The Federal Trade Commission Monday filed an administrative complaint challenging office-supplies giant Staples' (SPLS) proposed $6.3 billion acquisition of top rival Office Depot (ODP).
