Drawing on a century of expertise in kitchens and furniture fittings, Häfele UK has launched Utensio, its first-ever own-brand collection of storage solutions. Blending style with intelligent functionality, the Utensio range features larder pull-outs, corner and base storage and, now, “the UK’s largest integrated bin solution”.
Developed with a “designed by experts, for experts” philosophy, Utensio is ideal for furniture makers who demand precision, durability and ease of installation for their designs.
“Utensio is the result of decades of understanding consumer needs and the technical intricacies of high-performance storage systems,” explains MD of Häfele UK, Richard Curtis. “Each element has been crafted by designers with knowledge of the latest trends, as well as the practical demands of consumers and furniture producers.”
Features of the Utensio range include:
