Just launched in the UK, FurnSpin by Hettich throws away the rulebook on cabinet design by revealing or concealing the contents of furniture with a simple 180-degree rotational movement. Making the Interzum award-winning, door-free concept a workable reality required perfected kinematics. This is to prevent any collision with furniture edges and to cancel out centrifugal force to ensure that even light objects stay put.
Hettich has already demonstrated FurnSpin to certain customers at the Innovation Centre within its HQ near Media City in Salford.
As one customer put it: “Seeing FurnSpin in operation, we can appreciate how it creates that emotional connection for the end user which is hard to put a price on. FurnSpin offers the wow factor and differentiation that is essential in a crowded market for storage solutions.”
“FurnSpin is the project centrepiece, and source of pride to the interior designer thanks to its exclusivity and impact,” said Hettich UK Head of Marketing Jonathan Hunt. “It’s both a storage solution and a story we’re excited to tell. It opens the conversation about everything which surrounds it.”
Raised stakes in storage
Urbanisation has raised the stakes in storage. Smaller homes mean bigger demand for intelligent storage solutions which increase the flexibility of how space is used. FurnSpin not only maximizes the accessibility of the volume it occupies but also facilitates a change of mood for different times of the day in areas of the home with multiple functions.
While the interior designer’s customer seeks inspiration and innovation, their desire for value and sustainability means they want their purchases to last longer. “You only have to experience FurnSpin to appreciate that it’s built to last thanks to its German precision engineering,” concluded Jonathan.
Established in 1888, Hettich has been in the UK since 1990, inspiring the British interiors sector with innovative furniture technology made to exacting standards in its German factories. That includes drawer systems, hinges and sliding/folding systems and other distinctive products which bring furniture to life.
