Häfele Korea Co., Ltd. is demonstrating through its products just how convenient and efficient our lives can be when the furniture and products we use every day are designed with convenience and functionality in mind. Häfele Korea continues to develop and bring to market products that align with the Häfele Group’s new slogan, ‘Maximising the value of space. Together.’
‘TopSwing,’ which Häfele Korea launched as a new product this past February, is a product well suited to the new slogan. ‘TopSwing’ is a wall-mounted folding table that can be installed easily and conveniently at the location the user desires, and the material and colour of the tabletop can be chosen to match one’s lifestyle and the atmosphere of the space. Developed as a folding design, it can be folded flat against the wall when not in use to make full use of the entire space, and when a table is needed, the tabletop can be unfolded for use as a table for a variety of purposes.
TopSwing’s product specifications are 600 mm wide, 900 mm long and 25 mm thick, with a maximum load capacity of 30 kg and a chipboard construction. The tabletop can be made from 600–800 mm wide and 600–900 mm long according to the user’s needs, and the material can also be changed to MDF, chipboard, solid wood and more. Through this product, Häfele Korea aims to provide a practical and smart solution that can be used for various purposes even in compact kitchens, studies, meeting rooms and children’s rooms. ‘TopSwing’ can be experienced first-hand at the Häfele Korea brand showroom (2nd floor, 13 Eonju-ro 129-gil, Gangnam-gu).
The Häfele brand showroom is located on Eonju-ro, an area densely packed with building-materials stores, and comprises four floors in total. First, the 3rd floor, where visitors can find inspiration for smart living, applies each product to actual living spaces, presenting Häfele’s ‘philosophy of the home’ as an experience zone. From kitchen furniture and built-in wardrobes to desk-cum-bed furniture that maximises efficiency in tight living environments, interior doors and bathroom materials, folding doors and lighting, Häfele hardware is applied to the furniture and products we use every day, delivering all manner of convenience and functionality. It is an effective space where visitors can experience first-hand just how much these hidden elements can make our daily lives more convenient. On the 2nd floor, visitors can experience comprehensive solutions organised by furniture function. With the addition of Häfele Loox lighting, which enhances the aesthetic beauty and added value of furniture, visitors can draw inspiration for smart solutions. In particular, Häfele’s diverse hardware is installed by type, making it easy to understand the differences between each product and providing decisive help in specifying the hardware the buyer wants. On the 1st floor, architectural handles and furniture handles are on display, along with a wall display that recalls Häfele’s 100-year history. The basement 1st floor features the Häfele Academy, a space where Häfele trainers provide instruction in person, and the Häfele Shop, where visitors can purchase the products that inspired them.
Meanwhile, Häfele is a multinational company that began in 1923 in the Black Forest of southern Germany.
