I remember reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and thinking it was like reading an IKEA catalog thanks to all the Scandinavian names.

And then there was a scene (in the second book, IIRC), where there literally is a listing of products from the IKEA catalog.

That was the scene where Salander was furnishing her apartment if I remember correctly. The apartment was presented through her very technical viewpoint and IKEA catalog.

But a couple of chapters later there is a scene when Blomkvist visits the place and the description through his POV is totally different. It shows how different these two perceive the world.
