my nephew is Swedish. he told me this: Flöjen is a place in Norway. THis is not a word m´per any dictionary I can find. Sometimes it can be challenging to find the actual words in English that came from other roots because they alter spelling and pronunciation after several generations. Ex: uff da! This is not Swedish or Norwegian… but Uch Da! is …
All right, Im, late commenting, but just found this :)Im FROM sweden and never heard about flööjen either… Think this is a made up. We never put two ö after each other in normal language. Could be meaning “flöjten” which mean “the flute”. Many of the IKEA names are just common names thou, like Ivar. Klippan is translated to “the rock” by the way :)

I looked up “flööjen” on Google Translate Swedish-English, there is no translation. (Who knew the guy was so multilingual?)

I found flo(with a slash through it)jen on a Danish translation, and that means wing, but still doesn’t make sense.
