Dear Reader,
Hettich Group headquarters are based in Ostwestfalen-Lippe – right at the heart
of the German kitchen furniture industry. We develop and produce technology for furniture and are a dedicated source of inspiration for the
industry. Because fittings are the key to making trends real, they bring furniture to life.
Products from Hettich are found throughout the home, in furniture and in domestic appliances. Many functions that are taken for granted today were developed by Hettich. You‘ll find Hettich products, like drawers, hinges and sliding doors, in the kitchens of many well known manufacturers.
This magazine is designed to help you plan your kitchen intelligently so that in the future you can cook as ergonomically and conveniently as possible while minimising the time it takes. It also gives you an up to the minute snapshot of the new kitchen trends – to put you in the picture and inspire you!
We want your kitchen to bring you one thing in particular; Pleasure, but what are the new materials? Which new functions could be of help in everyday kitchen routine? What do you need to bear in mind when planning your kitchen? This magazine gives you the answers.

Do you know the new kitchen trends?
We have taken a look at the new ideas and products for you at the “Küchenmeile”, or kitchen mile, which takes place every year along the A30 motorway, and at “EuroCucina” in Milan where the whole kitchen world meets up every two years. There‘s a diverse choice of surface finishes, kitchen architecture is vibrant, and functions are getting smarter all the time. Be in for a surprise!

TimbersWood and imitation wood finishes dominate kitchen design. Imitations are becoming more and more natural: with knots and bold graining that can extend across the entire kitchen, and feel natural to touch. Oak remains a favourite. In many cases, dark timbers, like plane, are com- bined with dark green or black. One fascinating mix comes in the form of wood paired with ceramics.

Clear statementsWhite is still a big number for surfaces. Colour shades are taking on even greater purity and clarity.

Kitchen and living room A new homeliness is moving into rooms that tend to serve more of a practical purpose, like the kitchen: with materials and designs that merge with the living room.
Architecture
What’s new |
Sliding doorsSliding doors are finding their way into the kitchen. They bring large, flat surfaces to wall, base and tall units as well as to midway sections.
Shelves with pizzazzThe classic kitchen block is loosened up with offset shelf elements, often in jazzy colours.

The prestigious iF Design Award has
now been going to outstanding design
achievements for over six decades. Just
like the Red Dot Award which has
become established as an internatio-
nally acknowledged quality seal. Hettich
impressed the juries with two versions
of the Sensys hinge and Push to open
Silent function for ArciTech.
Sensys hingesThe invisibly integrated Silent System on the Sensys hinge impresses with its outstanding performance. It makes sure that doors close gently and quiet-ly, doing so almost by themselves because the exceptionally wide closing angle reliably pulls the door closed. The Sensys wide-angle hinge gives furniture doors a wide opening angle and closes them evenly and gently. It has received the Red Dot Award “Product Design 2014” and the iF Product Design Award 2014.
Fitted with the Sensys thick door hinge, even extremely thick furniture doors close smoothly, gently and silently. This version left the iF Design Award jury in no doubt either.

Thanks to the Sensys hinge with integrated Silent System, loudly banging doors are a thing of the past.
Push to open Silent for ArciTechThe all mechanical principle of Push to open Silent for ArciTech drawers opens the drawer all by it- self and closes it softly and gently. The opening force, triggering sensi- tivity and front panel gap can be adjusted. This function can be added at a later date without having to modify the drawer. The function has won the iF Product Design Award 2014 and been nominated for the German Design Award 2015.
A light press on the front is all it takes for the Push to open function to open the drawer almost by itself. Closing softly and gently in response to a nudge.

“Intelligent Kitchens”: the intelligent way to plan kitchens
A kitchen can be many things: modern or traditional, functional or homely, opulent or plain. But one thing it should be: intelligent.
In other words: a kitchen should be well thought through and perfectly organised. In an intelligent kitchen, you can save a lot of time and work while cooking and doing other jobs. You can make optimum use of available sto-rage space and keep everything in easy reach. And you can look after your health.
The three key aspectsWhen planning and buying a new kitchen, pay attention to these three aspects in particular:
• short distances• ergonomics• cleverly organised cabinet interiors
Hettich, the specialist in innovative hardware, provides valuable ideas and suggestions for intelligent kitchen planning in its „Intelligent Kitchens“ guide.
Short distancesThe “Intelligent Kitchens” guide organises a kit-chen into five activity areas. Planning a kitchen on the basis of this concept provides a host of benefits: going about your everyday work in the kitchen, you benefit from short distances and efficient, ergonomic work flows.
Working the healthy, ergonomic way“Intelligent Kitchens” helps you to organise your kitchen in a way that makes ergonomic sense. That takes the burden off you and is good for your health. This includes a worktop height matched to the individual just as it does
the clever use of storage space. Practical pull-outs for wall and base units work wonders.
Everything in its placeA well organised kitchen is more of a pleasure and less stressful to work in. Keep the important things where they‘re needed. Use intelligent organisational solutions for drawers and pull-outs. This way, you can store your provisions and utensils efficiently and conveniently.

This is how to get your kitchen right
What does your dream kitchen look like? What kitchen shape do you prefer? Whatever you go for – it‘s worthwhile planning a kitchen‘s prac-tical aspects carefully. Organising it into five, logically arranged activity areas will noticeably take the effort out of routine kitchen work. With short distances, smooth workflows and less physical exertion.
How can you make the “Intelligent Kitchens” concept work for your shape of kitchen? The diagrams below show you.
Every kitchen layout is different because it has to follow the space situation. But whether galley, L shape or island – any shape can be configured and built intelligently. The intelligence test for your kitchen:
This check list shows you just how logically “Intelligent Kitchens” works. And how intelligent is your kitchen? Do the test.
Layout Benefit Food directly next to the hob > in easy reach Pots and pans directly next to the hob > in easy reach Pots and pans directly next to the dishwasher > quickly loaded China and cutlery directly next to the dishwasher > quickly loaded Waste bin directly next to / under the sink > easy disposal of kitchen waste Cleaning products directly next to / under the sink > in easy reach China and cutlery near the dining table > table quickly set
The five activity areas are one of the key principles behind “Intelligent Kitchens”: you should always keep dishes, food etc. closely together in the clearly defined kitchen zone. This avoids having to walk unnecessary distances and saves the bother of searching.
