With FurnSpin, we are setting new standards in the furniture industry and are delighted that our commitment to outstanding design is being recognised internationally.
2024 Red Dot Award
The FurnSpin pivot and swivel fittings set new standards in furniture design: with a rotational movement, the interior of a cabinet can be completely turned outwards. The sophisticated kinematics ensure rotation along a predetermined path, while the integrated soft-close mechanism ensures a high level of user comfort.
‘The innovative FurnSpin technology enables two furniture variants in one – open shelf or closed cabinet – while remaining largely invisible,’ said the Red Dot jury.
2023 interzum Award
The FurnSpin fitting revolutionises the functionality of cabinets by enabling a unique translational rotational movement. This allows the interior of the cabinet to be fully rotated outwards, ensuring effortless access to the rear areas. This fascinating transition between closed and open furniture is impressively staged. Thanks to sophisticated kinematics, the rotated body moves in a defined path, reliably preventing collisions between the edges of the furniture.
ComfortSpin Awards
2019 iF Gold Award
The ComfortSpin turntable from Hettich not only turns 360 degrees, but also partially extends out of the refrigerator when turning. With ComfortSpin, forgetting food in the back of the refrigerator is a thing of the past. The turntable can be integrated into almost any refrigerator. This rotating shelf is an intelligent addition to any kitchen and refrigerator. It offers a clever solution to an everyday problem: how to get to items at the back of the fridge. Another advantage: it can be easily removed for cleaning. A great idea!
2019 interzum Award
ComfortSpin is a turntable for refrigerators. The movable base turns the contents a full 360 degrees and partially extends out of the refrigerator. This enables the plate to be used for improved interior organisation, as the food placed on it is easily accessible. The holder can be easily attached to the glass or furniture base using suction cups, screws or Powerstrips, so that the turntable can also be installed in other cabinets.
2019 Kitchen Innovations.
The Hettich ComfortSpin was honoured by the Kitchen Innovation Awards jury for its functionality, innovation, product benefit, design and ergonomics. The ComfortSpin helps you keep your refrigerator organised, with a clear overview and easy access with just a 360° turn.
Sensys Awards
2017 German Design Award Special Mention
The innovative Sensys thin door hinge offers furniture makers a wide range of design options to further differentiate themselves. It allows the use of thin core panels from 8 mm, which can be finished with an eye-catching design layer such as glass or concrete. In addition, thin versions of solid fronts made of materials such as mineral composites can also be realised. The high-quality look of exclusive materials can now be effortlessly combined with the simplicity of slimline shapes and fine joints.
2016 iF Design Award
The thin Sensys 8646i door hinge gives furniture manufacturers maximum design freedom and offers numerous opportunities for differentiation. It supports the use of thin core sheets from 8 mm that have a layer such as glass or concrete. Thin versions of solid fronts, for example made of mineral composite, are also available. The attractive appearance of high-quality materials can now be effortlessly combined with purist, slimline forms and narrow reveals. The Sensys 8646i thin door hinge, which features an extremely low-profile cup and an integrated silent system, extends the existing Sensys programme and provides the ideal solution for thin doors.
2014 Good Design Award
Sensys has an elegant and modern design that meets all customer expectations in terms of premium quality and aesthetics. The clear, slim and harmonious lines – from the pot to the cover cap to the mounting plate – give the hinge a streamlined and contemporary look. All edges and radii contribute to the perfect match between the hinge and mounting plate. The Silent System damping is seamlessly integrated into the hinge, as is the release tab.
2014 iF Design Award
Sensys combines attractive design with convenience and a sense of luxury. The doors close automatically and gently thanks to an exceptionally large self-closing angle of 35 degrees. Reliable closing of furniture doors and smooth, gentle closing are guaranteed in temperatures ranging from +5°C to +40°C. This is unique in the market. The new wide-angle hinge with integrated Silent System offers numerous advantages for furniture that requires generous and unobstructed access. The zero-protrusion of the door allows for wide internal drawers without spacer profiles. In addition, there is no risk of fingers being trapped, regardless of the position of the door.
2014 Red Dot Award
This wide-angle hinge enables the damped, automatic closing of furniture doors over an exceptionally wide opening angle of 35 degrees. Thanks to the zero-gap of the door, it is ideal for cabinets that have to be opened wide in order to be able to fully pull out inner drawers without spacer bars. The closing movement is smooth and even in a temperature range of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius.
‘With its function-optimising design, Sensys expands the possibilities of the furniture industry,’ said the jury.
2014 iF Design Award thick door hinge
Sensys combines attractive design with convenience. Reliable closing of furniture doors and even, gentle closing action are guaranteed in temperatures ranging from +5°C to +40°C. This is a unique feature on the market. The new thick door hinge with integrated Silent System supports the trend towards thick, heavy doors and ensures particularly narrow visible joints. In keeping with the purist design of the standard Sensys, two hinges are also sufficient here to ensure the ultimate in soft closing.
<p>The Hettich ComfortSpin was recognised by the Kitchen Innovation Awards jury for its functionalit
This hinge with integrated damping was developed to close furniture doors quietly and gently. Particularly due to the aesthetic appearance and the selection of high-quality materials, a beautifully shaped hinge generation has been created in which functionality is paramount. An elegant cover cap for the hinge cup hides the fixing screws, while another covers the hinge adjuster. The invisibly integrated damping mechanism closes every door automatically and gently, even from a wide opening angle, and ensures greater comfort in the kitchen.
2008 Red Dot Award
The Hettich Sensys hinge has been an award winner since 2008. We are very proud of this successful product.
Quadro Awards
2022 iF Design Award
Modern wine fridges are becoming increasingly popular. The Quadro Compact drawer system from Hettich features special ball bearings that ensure smooth, vibration-free running, allowing the shelves to open and close gently without disturbing the wines. Optional soft-close self-closing mechanism makes it even easier to use. With its dark finish, the Quadro Compact FE 20 also fits perfectly into the design of elegant wine fridges.
2018 Red Dot Award
With the Quadro Compact FE 20 drawer runners, wine racks can be opened and closed without any vibrations. The optional damped self-closing feature increases user convenience. With its dark surface, the Quadro Compact FE 20 fits perfectly into contemporary wine refrigerators.

The dishwasher baskets slide in and out with silky-smooth ease and perfect control, keeping the dishes safe. The optional Silent System ensures that the baskets glide gently and quietly, so the clinking of dishes is no longer audible.
AvanTech YOU Awards
2018 Red Dot Award
AvanTech YOU Illumination complements our AvanTech YOU drawer system with an innovative LED light signature. When opened, a homogenous LED light atmospherically illuminates the elegant drawer and its contents. When the drawer is closed or after 30 seconds, the light automatically switches off. The LEDs are powered by a rechargeable battery.
‘AvanTech YOU Illumination is a high-quality design feature of the AvanTech YOU drawer system that allows for customised design using lighting effects,’ the jury said.
2022 iF Design Award
In many living areas, indirect lighting in particular contributes to our sense of well-being and is an expression of our personal lifestyle. LEDs integrated into furniture create new design possibilities. When it comes to drawers, the trend is towards a linear, puristic design. An elegant light signature now complements the AvanTech YOU drawer system. It is available as a light profile on the top of the drawer or as a glass insert for tall drawers. The AvanTech YOU lighting emphasises individuality in a unique way. A rechargeable battery supplies the LEDs with energy.
2021 Interzum
AvanTech YOU Illumination complements kitchen furniture with unique, atmospheric and practical lighting. Installation is very easy, because the profiles with integrated LEDs are simply clipped onto the AvanTech YOU drawer frame. The necessary energy is supplied by a rechargeable battery pack. AvanTech YOU Illumination also creates special visual effects in drawer frames with glass inlays.
2021 Good Design Award
At just 13 mm, the AvanTech YOU frames are uncompromisingly slim. Thanks to the unique push-back frame construction, neither cover caps nor holes disturb the flawless appearance of the frame. The puristic design can be easily customised with a variety of clip-on design elements.
2016 Red Dot Award
The AvanTech drawer system is characterised by straight lines and very small radii, and it requires no cover caps or holes. High-quality aluminium gives the system a minimalist look. Five-way front adjustment allows for narrow joints and a precise front appearance. AvanTech also offers a high level of comfort and, with a load capacity of up to 80 kg, a high degree of stability.
‘AvanTech is characterised by a linear elegance and high-quality materials. In addition, the system enables an extremely narrow joint pattern,’ said the jury.
2016 iF Design Award
The drawer system that meets the highest design standards, even in the interior of furniture: AvanTech looks good with its perfect, slim lines, sharply rounded edges and the lack of cover caps and holes in the drawer side. High-quality aluminium ensures an impressively purist look. In terms of performance, AvanTech scores with unrivalled running properties, exceptional stability and precise joint alignment.
Push to open Silent Awards
2022 Red Dot Award
Push to open Silent for hinged doors allows for a handleless design. It combines mechanical opening without a power connection with a damped self-closing mechanism in a single system. Installation is extremely easy, as the entire unit is simply screwed into the carcass and is suitable for all standard cabinet designs. With surfaces in white, grey and anthracite, the system blends unobtrusively into the respective carcass colour.
‘This innovative opening system ensures optimised user comfort in handleless furniture thanks to its damped self-closing mechanism,’ said the jury.
2014 iF Design Award
The fully mechanical push-to-open silent system for drawers enables what was previously only possible with electromechanical systems. Pressing on the furniture front opens the drawers so far that further pulling out is not necessary in most cases. The closing is done by means of a gentle, damped movement. Depending on personal preference, the system offers adjustment options for the release sensitivity, opening force and drawer gap. This increases comfort and safety and optimises the narrow gap in the front panel for different drawer formats and weights. The system is mounted invisibly under the drawer and offers ergonomic advantages for puristic furniture and kitchens.
2015 German Design Award Special Mention
Push to open Silent for drawers achieves purely mechanically what was previously only possible with electromechanical systems. A light press on the front opens the drawers so far that in most cases it is not necessary to open them any further, and closes them gently and softly. For perfect appearance and function, the release sensitivity, opening force and front gap can be individually adjusted. The system makes ergonomically usable purist designed furniture and kitchens and can even be easily retrofitted.
WingLine L Awards
2019 Good Design Award
WingLine L received the prestigious Good Design Award 2019 due to its innovative and user-friendly design, which combines both functionality and aesthetics. With its unique push/pull-to-move mechanism, the system allows effortless operation of folding cabinet doors, which can be fully opened with just one hand, regardless of whether they are equipped with handles or not. The sophisticated kinematics ensure smooth and silent operation, while the minimalist approach allows for an elegant, handleless design. This combination of high functionality, ergonomic design and appealing aesthetics makes WingLine L an outstanding solution for modern furniture designs and sets it apart from other products.
2018 Red Dot Award
Thanks to the push/pull to move opening mechanism, WingLine L cabinet folding doors can be opened fully with just one hand movement, even handleless. The fitting is suitable for door leaves up to 2400 mm high and 600 mm wide. The minimal door protrusion leaves plenty of room for drawers and pull-outs. The damping system, which works in both directions, is particularly convenient as it also ensures quiet operation.
‘A high degree of functionality and clever use of technology that simplifies the handling of folding doors characterise the design of the WingLine L fitting,’ said the jury.
