Cities in China are rapidly growing. In the most populous country on Earth, this means that technological and design focused innovations in furniture and interior design are among the keys in developing tomorrows urban environments. In particular, turnkey solutions that make the most compact of homes an attractive option are right on trend. Having already presented its Tiny Home at Interzum 2019, Hettich demonstrates how versatile storage solutions can turn an apartment on a mere 18 m2 of floor space into a fully adequate home that leaves you wanting for nothing: a conveniently equipped kitchen and bathroom as well as a living area that doubles up as a bedroom. For instance, the kitchen island becomes a table, the sofa a bed, the floor step a storage unit, with the bar also providing an occasional table. From floor to ceiling, every last inch of storage space is brimming with intelligent ideas.

Hettich is particularly delighted with the Chinese "Best Whole House Solutions Award" because China has a long tradition of home living in very small spaces, and this is reflected in the expectations being placed on new solutions. Demonstrating the accomplished integration of design, furniture and architecture, Hettich's Tiny Home now features in the permanent exhibition on display at the ALPUP Architects Research and Development Centre – one of the largest purchasing platforms for the furniture making and housing construction industry in China. Firm evidence that Hettich has made its mark in China with its contemporary, all embracing solutions.
