# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Feodor Ingvar Kamprad founded IKEA in 1943 at age seventeen in Sweden. Over three decades he grew the mail-order business into a multinational retail empire that by 2008 had become the world's largest furniture seller. In 1976 he moved to Switzerland with his Swiss wife, remaining there until her death in 2011. He returned to Småland in 2014, closing the circle on a career that had reshaped how middle-class households furnish their lives.
