In 2017, self-proclaimed foodies Fi and Tom Ginnett were already running a successful bespoke kitchen-design business, but when the opportunity emerged to bring their design and service backgrounds to a new venture, they couldn’t resist. As HØLTE, the duo elevates IKEA’s kitchen components with a growing range of high-quality doors and worktops – all hand-finished in Hertford. Since the company’s establishment, HØLTE’s singular focus on simple, honest design in both manufacturing and service has set Fi and Tom apart from the competition, and put them at the forefront of a new and exciting design market.
From the second we saw their kitchens in place, we were blown away by the attention to detail that Fi and Tom bring to their work, and the dedication they show for their mission – to bring a top-quality product and service to a more accessible price point, and make IKEA kitchens last longer. We’re proud and excited to stand beside them as they build the HØLTE brand from their (conveniently close-to-Zetteler) Broadway Market studio.
