At “Das ganze Leben”, exceptional design meets versatile functionality and meticulous craftsmanship. Hettich hardware is an integral part of almost every piece of furniture—not merely a technical component, but a key element of a philosophy centred on creating living spaces for people, rather than simply filling rooms with furniture.

Project Context / Background

For more than a decade, the carpentry and design studio “Das ganze Leben” has been creating furniture designed to accompany people through the different stages of life, combining lasting functionality with timeless design. The new partnership with Hettich is a natural extension of this philosophy. Both companies share a commitment to creating furniture that adapts to changing needs and lifestyles—through modular systems, add-on elements and thoughtfully designed space solutions. At the heart of this approach is a deep understanding of functionality, aesthetics and precision craftsmanship. To maintain these high standards over the long term, the studio relies on Hettich’s technical expertise and high-quality hardware solutions to ensure consistent performance and quality.

Hardware in use

The collaboration began with an in-depth analysis of the furniture concepts. Hettich took the time to understand the designers' requirements in detail and recommend suitable hardware solutions. The close support provided by Hettich customer advisor Florian Psenner during the sampling phase was particularly important.

A key component is the Actro 5D Drawer runner for wooden drawers – sturdy, precisely adjustable, and ideal for the narrow birch plywood panels used in the studio.The EVA kitchens and cabinet modules also feature the Sensys cup hinges with integrated Silent System.

The EVA modular kitchen illustrates just how flexible furniture design could be: interlockable modules, height-adjustable legs, freely combinable elements, and a compact design—all supported by Actro 5D Drawer runner for wooden drawers and Sensys cup hinges with integrated Silent System. The partnership between “Das ganze Leben” and Hettich combines craftsmanship and modern technology to create durable furniture solutions that adapt to different life situations.
