Disappearing act new pivot-slide door system

Space is often at a premium in modern homes, and the laundry can be the first room to be compromised. But with a little lateral thinking, it's possible to have a fully equipped laundry that's tucked out of sight when not in use.

The bathroom in the home shown on these pages incorporates a bank of deep cabinets along one wall. These conceal the laundry facilities, including extensive shelving, washer, dryer and hamper.

To ensure the doors are not in the way when open, the designer specified the new Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 pivot/slide system from He¤fele.

The Hawa Concepta is a convenient, easy-to-fit solution for pivoting glass and timber doors that need to slide away to save space. The doors open up on a pivot to 90°, then slide easily into a recess, all in one effortless movement.

The Concepta's smooth operation is attributed to the precision-designed Swiss pivot and slide technology, and the sophisticated scissor element that stops the door from jamming.

But the Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 pivot/slide system is not just designed to provide a laundry solution. He¤fele says the modern trend towards clean, uncluttered interiors means every home needs lots of storage, be it in the family room, bedroom or hallway.

As well as providing a space-saving system for cupboard doors, the Concepta can be fitted to furniture. It can make flush-fitting cabinet fronts in the home office, bathroom or kitchen disappear, and it can also be used to conceal recesses.

The system can handle virtually any door dimensions, and doors that weigh up to 50kg. And with various installation options, profiles and handles, doors can now play a much greater interior design role, says He¤fele.
