As well as distributing some of the most respected brands in the furniture, kitchen and appliances market, Häfele develops and manufactures its own products that are loved and relied on by furniture professionals.
In 1954, 31 years after Häfele was founded in Germany, the company made its first steps into production with a clear focus – make innovative products based on customer need – and it’s a mission that has served the business for over 100 years.
Alongside the the iconic Minifix connector launched in the 1980s and produced in its millions each year, the manufacturer has continuously expanded its range with more recent additions including Metalla, Matrix and Free.
Häfele’s Metalla 310 hinge is the result of three years of global research and development and has been created with quality and long-term performance firmly in mind, with a lower price point than most other hinges with a similar specification. Initially launched in a nickel finish, Häfele has introduced an on-trend dark option that is available across the entire range including the most popular 110° and 155° product lines.
The Matrix drawer box range is recognised for its versatility, offering universal style and functionality as well as easy installation. The range has recently been expanded with two new ‘slim’ products, designed to maximise capacity.
A double-walled, premium drawer most suited to kitchens and bedrooms, the Matrix Box S Slim balances a high-end finish with the ability to maximise space, with 13mm drawer sides. The system can accommodate 18mm drawer bases and back panels to ensure smooth integration into cabinets of various sizes.
It features a 35kg load bearing on full extension with robust zinc-plated under-mounted soft-close runners, and hassle-free height and side adjustment. In a sleek black finish, the drawer system also taps into darker aesthetics that are dominating design trends, with three heights and five depths on offer to suit various applications. The Matrix Box S Slim is also backed by Häfele’s industry-leading 25-year warranty.
Häfele’s focus on maximising the value of space can also be found in its award-winning flap fittings. The Free range includes options designed to create more storage room within cabinetry by eliminating the need for large cover caps.
