The new store, based in Piccadilly Basin, Manchester, is the first new build for the Scandinavian furniture retailer that began in Denmark in 1974 but is a relative newcomer to the UK.
Ilva has set out a clear vision for its retail outlets to be modern and elegant where people want to browse and has built a reputation for innovation in product design and the new store fulfils this ambition.

The roof was constructed by Hathaway Roofing using 6300 m2 of Ward Topdek and the main contractor was Shepherd Construction.
Hathaway Sales Director Steven Price, said: "Topdek was the obvious choice for the first new Ilva store to be built in the UK, we chose the Ward product because of its suitability as a low pitch roofing solution.
"Topdek also came with an extended 25-year guarantee that simply was not available through any other composite roof panel solution. It installs really quickly which offers obvious programme advantages and the invisible fixings produce a great aesthetic finish for the store."
