Köögimaailm

What Köögimaailm does

Köögimaailm (legal entity Best Decor OÜ) is an Estonian custom furniture company founded in 1996 by Signe Hanko, headquartered in a showroom at Riia 140, Tartu. The company designs, manufactures, and installs made-to-order kitchen, hallway (including sliding-door wardrobes), and bathroom furniture for residential homeowners across Estonia. The product stack uses European-sourced board materials (EGGER, KRONOSPAN), components from Venditor, Agenda, and Mööblifurnituur, and offers multi-brand appliances (AEG, Bosch, Electrolux, Samsung, Whirlpool, etc.) and sinks/faucets (FRANKE, Schock, Blanco, etc.), enabling a one-stop kitchen project service. The sales motion is direct-to-consumer and consultative: customers visit the Tartu showroom, go through measurement, designer-led project drafting, quote, deposit (30-50%), and professional installation, with typical lead times of 2-6 weeks.

Beyond its core furniture business, Köögimaailm operates as an official distributor of iRobot products (Roomba s9+, Combo j7+, i3, i5, i5+, i7, j7, j7+, and Braava jet m6) for the Estonian market, reselling vacuum cleaners, floor washers, and accessories. The company also integrates ESTO AS installment financing (representative APR 23.63%) as a bottom-of-funnel conversion mechanism, while it receives full payment upfront from ESTO, insulating working capital. There is no proprietary software platform, mobile app, or e-commerce channel; all transactions flow through the Tartu showroom or remote consultation. Marketing is primarily organic, relying on a website project gallery, Instagram, word-of-mouth, and showroom visits. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment.
