Hettich FurnSpin wins Good Design Award 2024
The innovative FurnSpin swivel and pivot fitting from Hettich has won the Good Design Award 2024 from the Japan Institute of Design Promotion. This is the seventh time Hettich has received this award since 2014.
The Good Design Award is the only comprehensive evaluation and recommendation system for product design in Japan. The annual awards are also recognized internationally as proof of outstanding quality in functionality and design. This year, the jury praised the FurnSpin for its revolutionary movement thanks to the swivelling cabinet body, which introduces a completely new concept for storage space in furniture.
Until now, wardrobe furniture was usually fitted with sliding, folding or hinged doors. The FurnSpin hardware innovation is different. It does away with old design patterns and brings creative momentum to furniture design: open doors or flaps no longer get in the way – the majority of the cabinet body can be moved with ease. With an elegant twist, the furniture reveals its inner workings. With a further twist, the inside of the cabinet disappears from view and the furniture shows closed fronts again. The torque is balanced in such a way that even very light objects do not tip over or slip, but remain in their original place in the unit.
