GERMANY- Two products from Hettich came out on top among 5,295 entries of the iF Design Award 2016. AvanTech, the drawer system for the premium segment, and the Sensys thin door hinge. The iF Design Award has been an internationally recognized hallmark of design excellence for over 60 years. It ranks among the world’s most prestigious design prizes.

The AvanTech drawer system continues the most exacting design aspirations on the inside of furniture: an AvanTech drawer cuts a fine figure with perfect sleek lines, sharply rounded edges and no cover caps whatsoever on the high quality 13 mm aluminium drawer side profiles. With the Actro 5D drawer runner, AvanTechmakes perfection something you can see, feel and hear.

The new Sensys 8646i thin door hinge with extremely shallow cup gives furniture makers maximum design flexibility for further options in making a mark of distinction. It permits the use of thin core board panels in a thickness from just 8 mm with a design defining surface application layer, such as glass or concrete. Thin solid front panels made, for example, of solid surface materials are also an option. The look and feel of exclusive materials can now be combined with the purist style of slender lines and narrow reveals.
