Hardware for furniture, upholstery, kitchen, coatings and furnishing systems.

Furnishing Idea is the portal dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, designed to bring together different professionals such as architects, designers, carpenters, furniture makers and manufacturers active in the furniture market who represent the reference point in terms of innovation and quality of the product offered. On the other hand, the portal aims to provide a valid information service focused on products, projects, events and fairs and everything that revolves around the world of components, semi-finished products and accessories for the furniture industry.

 

The portal is divided into different sections where you can explore the different products according to different categories, get in touch with manufacturers, download catalogues to keep up with industry trends and watch videos of interviews with the best professionals and manufacturers.

 

In the articles section you can find all the information about the most innovative product technologies, such as furniture materials, furniture accessories and systems, furniture machinery, furniture hardware, manufactured by manufacturers with a solid experience in the field. In the companies section there is an overview of the manufacturers registered on our portal, divided by product category, where you can contact us for any request. Our portal also has a special catalogues section to allow professionals and operators in the sector to view in a practical way all the catalogues relating to the various products (furniture hardware, upholstery materials, furniture paints, etc.). In addition, to allow easy consultation of the products, our portal has reserved a product section, organized by categories, where you can find out about the technical characteristics, materials and functionality of each product. The video section, on the other hand, presents numerous video interviews given by professionals and manufacturers that report news, insights and informative content on the best technologies in the sector.

 

In addition, to keep you constantly informed you can also consult our Journal section which contains all the Furnishing Idea magazines dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, such as the edition dedicated to Sicam or Interzum, two of the most important trade fairs in the sector. The magazines can be consulted from the portal or easily downloadable in pdf format.

 

Thanks to the trust placed in us by many manufacturers, our portal is now recognized both nationally and internationally. In fact, there are already many internationally recognized and established companies in the sector, including the AIPEF group (Italian Flexible Expanded Polyurethanes Companies) which promotes scientific information on the use of flexible polyurethane foam in the sectors in which it is used.

Home Office: Hettich Group's proposals for new lifestyles

The world of work has certainly undergone the strongest and fastest changes due to the Covid-19 emergency; the adoption of Smart Working by companies has influenced people's habits by changing their behaviour and habits.
How will work be done in the near future?
Hettich Group, a leading global manufacturer of hardware and furniture systems, questions the megatrends to define the guidelines and trends that will influence furniture choices and then interpret them and design solutions in line with the times.

 

Flexibility and home office


An issue of undisputed interest is the greater flexibility required by companies and consequently also by workers in terms of both time and space.
The working environment must follow the necessary evolutions of our time: this implies on the one hand the need in the company for staff rotation with the creation of spaces that can be used by different people, and on the other hand the organization of a work activity inside one's own home.
In fact, workers are required to stay at home several days a week or several weeks a month and necessarily have to organise a place for work within the home, a functional Home Office. Balancing personal and working life is a challenge that will become increasingly important.
If, on the one hand, a desk or desk top and a seat are essential, no less important is also the ability to organise and position laptops, filing cabinets, catalogues, stationery and everything else that is usually used. An essential role is also played by light and any separating elements to have the necessary concentration.
The greatest challenge is to integrate all this into your home environment, harmonizing the design of the Home Office with the pre-existing aesthetic features. This is why moving tops, sliding doors, drawers and pull-outs are a perfect solution to hide, tidy up or have more space for the Home Office.

 

Home Office Ideas Book from Hettich Group


To meet the new housing needs Hettich has compiled a wide variety of ideas in its Home Office Ideas Book.
Furnishings that include high-running runners such as Quadro, SlideLine sliding door systems, folding door systems such as WingLine and drawer systems such as ArchiTech and AvanTechYOU become a must for setting up large rooms or making very small ones for Smart Working.
Furniture manufacturers, craftsmen and architects can find solutions to propose to customers or draw inspiration for new projects dedicated to Home Office. The catalogue contains information on the Hettich products used, which can be found in the descriptions on the website, in the catalogue and in the graphic design tools on the Hettich website.
