Furniture from IKEA is affordable and minimalist, providing the perfect base for creative individuals to "hack" the products to create their own custom IKEA designs. Hølte is a London-based design company that recently opened the doors to its studio and showroom in Hackney, appealing to consumers who are looking to customize their IKEA kitchens with its elegant hand-finished cabinet fronts, handles, worktops and more.
While many DIY-ers have been hacking IKEA furniture on their own for years, Hølte provides a helping hand in elevating the cost-effective, functional furniture pieces to create a bespoke kitchen design.
The new store space from Hølte also doubles as a community-focused place to host events, client meetings, design workshops, pop-ups, dinner clubs and other special events.
