DENVER - Custom woodworker William Wolff and his partners have launched a new business line: customized IKEA kitchen cabinetry.
Also referred to by designers as "IKEA hacking," The Cabinet Face is selling an IKEA upgrade that takes the furniture retail giants' basic boxes, and wraps them in better looking veneers or laminates, along with new doors and drawers in a variety of wood species. Doors and drawers precisely match the IKEA cabinet line dimensions and drill patterns.
"We founded The Cabinet Face to bridge the gap between high-end design and mass production, and make custom furniture available to everyone," says Wolff. The company exhibited at the Denver Home Show in the spring.
