Once again, an innovative product from Hettich has won the prestigious interzum award. This year it was the FurnSpin fitting system earned Hettich “Best of the Best" accolade for this "well thought out and innovative design."
"Receiving the interzum award confirms the quality and ingenuity of your work while underscoring your product's international standing in the industry," said show organizer Koelnmesse.
FurnSpin is inspiringly different: the innovative fitting for the high end segment does away with old style formats and puts a creative new spin on furniture design. Open doors or flaps no longer get in the way – most of the cabinet body can now be moved with ease. A stylish turn leaves furniture to reveal what's inside. Hiding everything from view again, a further spin returns furniture to its closed state.
The fitting's unique "translatory rotational movement," now literally turns furniture inside out. Doing so, FurnSpin synchronizes two different forms of movement: swivel action as well as rotation through 180 degrees. The cabinet body moves along a defined path, preventing any collision between furniture edges. The astounding part is that FurnSpin seems to cancel out centrifugal force as torque is balanced so carefully that even very light objects don't fall over or slip about in furniture, but stay firmly in place.
The interzum award was presented at interzum in Cologne, Germany in May.
