Quality & Timelessness – IKEA with Dendra Doors
We sit down with John Webb of John Webb Construction & Design to learn about Dendra Doors quality, how he curated the massive selection of finishes they offer, and how well they pair with IKEA Kitchens.
“All the Dendra Doors stuff is really nice. When I think of timelessness though, I always think of wood. And when I say timeless I think of things as far back as, you know, when my Grandma was around. Stuff from back then that’s still in use today and still looks good. It’s timeless, it’s the test of time. So when you look at wood, you know it’s timeless. Stone is timeless.
I think that our really popular one right now is the Shaker Slim – that seems to be a hot product. It’s really handsome, it’s just got a smaller frame on the Shaker. And it’s a little cleaner, more modern look. But, it can go into something more traditional also, when you’re staying in the woods.
I always think of low maintenance. Whatever you’re going to do, it’s low maintenance you don’t want to have to repaint it or repair it, or whatever. So, I always think of finishes that way.
Wood, you know, you can dent, but I think of handsome old things as a kind of patina of use and age. You know it’s used – it could be a hundred years old, but it’s still a handsome piece of furniture or handsome cabinetry, if it was planned and built well.
And when you start thinking about lets say, the painted surfaces, now they have a SuperMatte which is a totally covered door, that’s flat, that kind of repairs itself. You can, honestly, wash it hard and use a scrubbie on it and it’ll take any marks and whatever else, and it snaps back leaving it looking just like it was brand new. So, these products are getting pretty sophisticated these days.”
