Häfele UK has expanded its range of space-saving products following a partnership with Atim, an Italian manufacturer of innovative transformable systems.

The company’s fittings for pull-out kitchen worktops and tables will now be available through Häfele UK giving customers even greater choice of compact living solutions.

With a 25-year heritage in creating space-saving aluminium furniture systems, Atim’s products are ideal for multifunctional and small living spaces. The new additions include Lunch, Party, Mensola Able +39 and Voilà Chair Reverse, which can be used to hide a dining table or desk space inside a drawer to free up the floor area or to produce an extendable table for a small kitchen island or peninsula.

All Atim table systems can be customised, plus due to their 100% aluminium structure, offer a guaranteed load capacity of up to 100kg.

“The need for function and flexibility is more important than ever for homeowners,” said Justin Crofts, category manager for furniture construction at Häfele UK.

“In our recent research, function was the number one factor when choosing a new kitchen for 60% of consumers and likewise, 10% – around 1.75 million homeowners – use the kitchen as a makeshift office. When you add to the equation that UK homes are, on average, getting smaller, a well-designed, flexible kitchen area that’s small on footprint is high on most buyers’ wish lists.”

Justin continued: “To help retailers and manufacturers respond to this growing consumer need, we’re continually expanding our range of space-saving furniture components to be a single source of solutions for the industry. Atim – with its beautifully and cleverly designed products – adds to that offer perfectly.”
