Drop By Our Stand at the World’s Premier Trade Fair for Furniture Production and Interiors

At the world’s biggest gathering of furniture manufacturers and interior design specialists, quality and innovation are what stand out. For many years now, when Interzum rolls into town, Sugatsune has been there at Cologne’s Koelnmesse exhibition centre, sharing our own unique blend of precision engineering expertise and practical problem solving know-how. And so we return again this month to demonstrate products new and old from our award-winning range. This year we have a number of exciting new products to premier at Interzum. If there is any kind of theme across these latest additions to the Sugatsune catalogue, it is soft close - soft close door dampers, soft close hinges, soft close lid stays and counter flap mechanisms. As a concept, we believe soft close is all about control, finesse and versatility, qualities we’ll be taking the opportunity to demonstrate at Interzum. For example, visitors to our stand will be able to see how our trademarked Aileron lid stays can be paired with Olympia 360 concealed hinges for the most versatile and precise closure system for top-opening cabinets available on the market. With both components fitted with Lapcon rotary dampers, combining the two enables precision adjustments to be made to ensure consistent, smooth closure over time, across all lids and doors. Sticking with the theme of horizontal soft close control, we will also be demonstrating our new range of lift-assist dampers (LADs) specially designed for counter flaps at bars, restaurants and reception desks. With our LADH series capable of supporting an 800mm flap up to 12.5kg in weight, it makes for an ideal safety precaution to help mitigate the risk of trapped fingers. In addition, the damper mechanisms in our LAD products are specially designed to provide assistance when heavy flaps are opened - hence the ‘lift assist’ in their name. Another example of Sugatsune’s pedigree in breaking new territory with damper and hinge technology is the J160 wide angle concealed cabinet hinge. A unique proposition built on the success of our J95 heavy duty hinge, the J160 is capable of supporting large cabinet doors weighing up to 40kg in weight and 36mm thick. The innovation is that the J160 allows for an unimpeded opening arc up to 160o and features in-built soft close. Visitors to our stand will also be able to see the DC-200 damper and catch solution in action. When paired with the J95 concealed hinge, this offers an ideal soft close solution to cupboard doors weighing as much as 40kg. The DC-200 can also be retrofitted to a wide range of doors, offering a more robust and heavy duty soft close option than the traditional cabinet damper. As with the LAD dampers, the DC-200 is designed to slow the door late in its arc and bring it to a smooth, gentle close. To finish on the topic of wardrobe and cupboard door closure solutions, we will also be premiering the LIN-X800, the slightly smaller sibling to the popular LIN-X1000 lateral hinge. Designed to save space in front of a door by pushing it laterally left or right rather than arcing forwards, LIN-X hinges allow an open door to sit flush with an adjacent wall or cabinet, keeping them out of the way when open. They can be used in horizontal and L-shaped cabinet arrangements and also have an in-built damper system for soft close control. Those familiar with the Sugatsune brand will appreciate that we are motivated as much by aesthetic qualities as we are by practical innovation. Showcasing our commitment to style as well as quality, we will also have an extensive range of designer hooks on display. In our PXB range we offer everything from rugged, aged brass perfect for those nostalgic old-world interiors to vivid, colourful, modern silicone rubber hooks ideal for those more contemporary spaces, and from paired-down wooden options for a homely, natural look to glamorous leather-and-chrome effect for the last word in luxury. If you happen to be attending Interzum this year, please do drop by our stand and ask any questions you might have about any of our products and solutions. We always relish the opportunity to connect with people face to face at events like this. For a complimentary ticket please email us at sales@sugatsune.co.uk or give us a call on 01189 272 955
