Hettich intelligent storage solutions for tiny spaces

During last week’s Interzum show, Hettich featured a range of intelligent storage solutions for tiny spaces on the new “Tiny Spaces – Living in compact homes” Piazza. Under the Fascin[action] storage banner, Hettich demonstrated how great it can be to live in a compact space.

As the megatrend towards urbanisation continues, tiny spaces are becoming established the world over as a concept for living in conurbations. Tiny spaces are much more than an alternative because a small living space doesn’t equate to less quality of life. The exact opposite is true. The less space available, the more intelligent the solutions must be for designing and using it. And this doesn’t mean any need to forgo good design either.

Using the example of a fully-furnished, single-person apartment on a floor space of just 18m², Hettich showed how lovely a tiny space can be as a home and demonstrated all of the surprises it literally holds in every corner. Every storage space – whether in furniture or recesses – is easily accessible, cleverly structured and usable down to the very last inch. Throughout the apartment, space is used for storage right up to ceiling level. Provisions or items not needed every day are stored further up. Whenever necessary, integrated steps can be folded down to reach the higher levels.

Versatile storage solutions turn the kitchen island into a table, the sofa into a bed, the bar into an occasional table, the stair step into a cabinet. Because this home lacks absolutely nothing, it is all the more astonishing to realise that it doesn’t actually take much to be happy. The tiny space furnished by Hettich was on show at the dedicated Piazza area on the exhibition’s Boulevard and, from summer, will be displayed at the Hettich Forum in Kirchlengern.
