Fabri’s ID Collection Scores In The European Product Design Awards

Fabri is pleased to announce that its Integrated Design (ID) Collection received Bronze in the latest European Product Design Awards.

The Product Design of the Year Awards recognize the efforts of talented designers and design teams who aim to improve our daily lives with practical and beautiful creations, designed to solve a problem, make life easier or simply spread joy.

The challenge for the ID collection was to design pieces with as many functions as possible, in order to fulfil as many needs as possible in the modern home. A kitchen is now the functional and social hub of the home, and the challenge was to design a collection that would reflect this and become an asset to the home in total, not only the kitchen.

This collection has 2 shapes with 6 functions:
Serve: countertop which allows the serving of drinks and snacks.
Hide: when integrated into the kitchen countertop, it creates a minimalist look, while hiding what’s stored on the inside, maximizing the available space.
Carry: Built-in wheels and handle that facilitates effortless mobility.
Store: interiors which allow storage of different objects.
Decorate: design that can be used in several rooms of the house.
Seat: tall chair to be used in the kitchen at a breakfast nook, or at another place of the house to assist the tea trolley. The inside was designed to store books.

Both items in this collection have built-in wheels and handles to allow for easy transition between the 6 functions that the units can perform. Both the chair and the tea trolley can be integrated into a standard kitchen counter, and from there can easily be pulled out to be used as a mobile countertop and serving unit, or a chair.

The interior of the units can house various objects to maximise storage space in a home, while still being beautiful and adding to the aesthetic value of a space. The wheels are concealed underneath the units to ensure ease of movement without compromising the aesthetics of the Collection. The mobility of the unit is what allows it to transform from a concealed piece of a kitchen into useful units in any room of the house.
