People are asking more from their spaces than ever. According to Jonathan Hunt, Head of Marketing at Hettich UK: “Driven by urbanisation, multi-generational living, and the rise of home working, our living spaces must work harder than ever before. This is why the story of Hettich’s stand at kbb is Making Space Matter.”
Modern consumers now demand kitchens that perform efficiently and transform seamlessly to meet different requirements throughout the day.
“Two decades ago, we relied on a prescribed range of classic layouts,” adds Hunt. “Now, the industry is defined by individualisation. Evolved larder storage and multi-functional elements are no longer niche; they are mainstream expectations.”
Hettich believes small space and flexible living design are about unlocking potential and making every square metre work harder and smarter for those who use it.
Hettich will demonstrate advanced movement innovations that bring flexible living to life, from rotating cabinetry to intelligent sliding solutions and mechanisms that transform storage into something dynamic and interactive. Find them on Stand R70.
A showcase of ideas
KBB will be a showcase of ideas, and Hettich intends to help lead this dialogue. Nothing could illustrate that intention better than FurnSpin.
FurnSpin throws away the rulebook on cabinet design by revealing or concealing the contents of furniture with a simple 180-degree rotational movement. This door-free concept required perfected kinematics to prevent any collision with furniture edges and to cancel out centrifugal force to ensure that even light objects stay put.
FurnSpin not only maximises the accessibility of the volume it occupies, but also facilitates a change of mood for different times of the day in areas with multiple functions.
Interior fittings – a new range
Also true to the “Making Space Matter” maxim, and taking pride of place at KBB, is Hettich’s new range of interior fittings. These real solutions for real life, give colour-matched, sleek and functional options for tall, base and corner cabinets, perfectly complementing Hettich’s renowned hinges and drawer systems. They don’t just organise the customer’s space – they elevate it.
Small space is a catalyst driving meaningful innovation. Those who lean in this direction and see flexibility as an essential part of good design will play a defining role in shaping the way people live in the years ahead.
