Remember Bemz, the slipcover company that lets you revamp an ordinary Ikea sofa? Well, this time it's all about the cabinet hardware: Superfront allows you to upgrade your run-of-the-mill Ikea cabinets without the help of a carpenter.
Stockholm-based Superfront is a new online shop offering high-quality cabinet fronts, handles, and legs that work with popular Ikea products like Bestå sideboards, Pax wardrobes, and Faktum kitchens. You can choose from nine cabinet fronts, eight handles, and eight legs in 12 different colors. The company takes pride in offering well-crafted designs made in Sweden, and, best of all, offers endless variations and possibilities for your Ikea pieces new and old. Right now, Superfront ships only to Scandinavia, Europe, and the UK; we're ready for it to expand its reach.
