Experience “Micro Living” And “Smart Home” first hand with the Häfele Interzum preview 2017. Thinking ahead and staying true to its motto “More life per square metre”, the company will bring the entire furniture technology experience to life and present new products, innovative and smart ideas for the digital networking of furniture and rooms focused on the mega trends “Micro Living” and the “Smart Home”.
Häfele will once again fulfil its traditional role as an innovator in the industry with two new furniture connectors that have just received the Interzum award 2017. The one-piece Ixconnect spreading bolt 8/25 won the highest distinction with the “Best of the best” designation. Another prize was awarded for the new EasyStorage connector, a universal connector for furniture pieces. It cuts the assembly time of furniture pieces from the Easy Storage range in half, compared to conventional connectors. The furniture connectors on the podium are examples of comprehensive furniture competency as well as ‘Easiness. Engineered by Häfele’, a credo that has made simplicity and easiness for customers the top priority.
Häfele’s Interzum team will summarise the challenges of our times in the three major theme areas “Micro Living”, “Smart furniture meets smart home” and “Furniture technology – A holistic view”.
The Häfele concept “Micro Living” inspires with exciting creative functionality and points to new market opportunities for the furniture industry. It includes furniture ideas that fit into the new world of generally scarcer and increasingly more expensive living spaces and the fusion of living areas to new, often smaller units.
In this world, where the digitalization of living areas and home spaces and networking of the house are progressing in gigantic leaps, where the “smart home” is becoming a reality, networking and digital control are becoming increasingly important.
As an international market leader, Häfele knows the world of hardware technology, the furniture industry and furniture itself better than most others. The company has comprehensive experience and deep know how in all areas – from furniture design to interior fittings, opening and closing functions as well as the electrification of furniture. Häfele applies this expertise to the development of new products and inspiring ideas with a holistic view of furniture, tailored to the entire process chain of the service provision and especially to the needs of the furniture industry.
