SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 27, 2025 – Hettich is reshaping the future of space utilization with its award-winning SpinLines product family—a transformative suite of turning swivel systems designed to revolutionize how furniture and interiors function. Debuted in phases since 2019 and spotlighted at interzum 2023 and 2025, these innovative solutions enable unprecedented flexibility in residential and commercial design, offering new avenues for architects, fabricators, and furniture manufacturers.
From Turntable to Room Transformation
The journey began with a vision: rethinking how storage space is accessed and used. In collaboration with Chemnitz-based “WIRfinder” innovation network, Hettich developed the prototype ComfortSpin—a turntable that rotates cabinet or refrigerator contents to the front for easy access. The concept, rooted in translatory rotation, quickly gained traction among kitchen appliance makers and entered mass production in 2019.
Drawing from over 135 years of expertise in furniture fittings, Hettich extended the turning mechanism into full furniture bodies, giving rise to the swiveling FurnSpin and later to the architectural-scale RoomSpin.
Introducing the SpinLines Product Family
SpinLines is not a single product—it is an ecosystem designed for scalable transformation across diverse settings. It includes:
- ComfortSpin: A compact turntable that maximizes storage accessibility.
- FurnSpin: A dynamic system that enables entire furniture units to rotate, facilitating flexible space reconfiguration.
- RoomSpin: A platform for full-room transformation, co-developed with Münster School of Architecture and Prof. Ulrich Blum of Zaha Hadid Architects.
Each system integrates Hettich’s signature “translatory rotational movement,” ensuring smooth, collision-free transitions. This enables new design concepts and improves both spatial functionality and ergonomic accessibility.
Strategic Advantages for the Contract and Furniture Markets
For manufacturers and designers in the B2B furnishing sector, SpinLines presents several clear advantages:
- Design Freedom: Allows for flexible planning and use of space, supporting both compact and expansive configurations.
- Customization: Systems are adaptable for various sizes and weight classes, catering to both residential and contract markets.
- Innovation Leadership: Establishes Hettich as the first mover in a newly defined fittings category.
- Award-Winning Design: Recognized for innovation in both functionality and aesthetic execution.
SpinLines positions Hettich not just as a supplier but as a catalyst for evolving industry standards in interior design and product engineering.
“Spinnovate Your Space”: A Vision Brought to Life
“This curated turning movement transforms living and working environments to suit personal requirements,” as captured in Hettich’s motto “Spinnovate your Space.” The phrase encapsulates the strategic essence of the product family—merging form and function to empower next-generation spaces.
According to the company, “The use of space and furniture can now be planned, configured and structured with new flexibility and efficiency.” By integrating mobility into static furnishings, SpinLines redefines what is possible in spatial design.
Outlook and Industry Impact
As urbanization and hybrid work models continue to influence space planning, the demand for flexible, multifunctional environments is rising. SpinLines addresses this need with scalable, intuitive design solutions.
Furniture manufacturers, interior architects, and design specifiers are encouraged to explore how SpinLines can serve as a competitive differentiator in upcoming projects. The company’s roadmap suggests further development and expansion of this product family, solidifying Hettich’s leadership in transforming space through intelligent hardware.
