Welcome to Kokeena!
Kokeena makes high-quality doors for IKEA’s popular systems, empowering homeowners and designers to create dream kitchens that reflect their unique style.We provide everything you need to customize IKEA cabinets, from doors and drawer fronts to side panels, toe kicks, filler trim, appliance panels, and even shelves.
We go beyond the basics to ensure durability and sustainability in everything we make, too. Most of our doors use a specialty engineered high-density recycled wood for exceptional stability and moisture resistance, surpassing even plywood and MDF. And we use low-VOC adhesives and finishes with FSC certified woods.
Need more color option or customizations? Our paint colors seamlessly integrate with your existing design scheme and we offer door styles ready for glass inserts, allowing for further personalization. If we don’t offer the color you need, we’ll custom match any color.
Sustainability Mission
Quality + Sustainability = Good Business
Kokeena is committed to sustainable business practices that benefit the consumer as well as the planet. While our practices and methods change and evolve over time, what's constant is our dedication to sourcing products and materials that allow us to deliver uncompromising quality without compromising sustainability.
Finishing Products
Kokeena specifies low impact paints and finishes. From low- and no-VOC paints to low-VOC conversion varnishes, finishing products and techniques are selected for the best combination of durability and sustainability.
Wood Products and Practices
We are committed not only to the use of sustainably harvested wood, but also to sustainable practices in materials usage during production. Steps are taken to minimize wasted material during the making of your doors. We also accept that wood is a naturally variable product and recognize that over-selecting for "perfect" grain is not a sustainable practice, and is detrimental to the longevity of the species. Our grain quality specifications are stringent enough to allow us to offer beautiful, high-quality goods, while still allowing for the variability inherent in each species. All wood products are FSC Certified.
Wood fiber, plant fiber and wood ply products are used as a way of minimizing the use of virgin wood species, which helps prevent over-harvesting. Fiber and ply products are made from recycled wood and plant fiber and do not contain added formaldehyde (NAUF).
Glues
Many of our doors use wood grain veneers glued to a green ply or fiber backing. The glues used by Kokeena in this process are low-VOC.
Product availability and best practices change over time. We are committed to working with our partners and suppliers on an ongoing basis to ensure we are leading the way providing high-quality, high-style, low impact products.
Natural Wood.
Natural Variations.
The beauty of wood is that no two pieces look exactly alike, and yet you know instantly when you're looking at Oak instead of Fir or Ash instead of Walnut. It's this variety - this natural difference between pieces of the same species of wood - that makes wood so beautiful and desirable in the first place. Think about it for a moment. If every piece of Walnut looked exactly the same, then your doors would look "printed" instead of "grown." And your Walnut kitchen would look like every other Walnut kitchen. Thankfully, nature has provided us with a natural bounty. And we at Kokeena celebrate this bounty and the natural variety that makes every piece of wood unique. We love wood!
We do, however, work to make sure that every species we sell meets a certain set of criteria that we have defined with our suppliers. Every Walnut door we sell will fall within those criteria, and will look like Walnut from Kokeena. Every piece of Rift White Oak that we sell will look like Rift White Oak from Kokeena, and may look different than Rift White Oak from another source.
Further, we work closely with our cabinet manufacturing partners to ensure that all of the doors and panels in a single order come from the same batch of wood, so that variability is minimized within a single project, and to ensure that your kitchen looks like the casework all came from the same tree.
Of course, wood is still wood, and there will still be some variety in grain pattern and coloration, even in a single batch of wood. And, you can expect that the coloration of your wood will change imperceptibly over time. Wood reacts to light in various ways depending on the species, the stain and the finish. Sometimes it darkens. Sometimes it yellows. Sometimes it bleaches. But it always changes.
And that is the unique beauty of wood.
