FurnSpin Linen Cabinet is a bathroom storage piece developed by Vanico-Maronyx in collaboration with Hettich. It transforms everyday storage into an architectural feature and by integrating Hettich’s FurnSpin turning-swivelling system, it combines compact functionality, refined movement, and premium design in one statement piece.
Context
Bathroom storage is often limited to conventional doors and drawers that require clearance space, interrupt visual flow, and underuse narrow vertical footprints. These solutions can disrupt visual continuity and reduce efficiency, particularly in compact environments.
As bathrooms evolve into more design-led, wellness-oriented environments, furniture must space optimization, ease of access, and aesthetic integration without compromising functionality.
Intent
The FurnSpin Linen Cabinet was created to redefine vertical bathroom storage as a compact, high-performance furniture solution.
The objective was to:
- Maximize accessibility within a minimal footprint
- Eliminate the spatial limitations of hinged doors
- Introduce intuitive, motion-based interaction
- Create a design-forward piece adaptable to a range of bathroom styles
The design aims to combine efficiency, movement, and visual refinement in a single, integrated system.
Solution
The FurnSpin Linen Cabinet is a motion-driven storage system built around FurnSpin technology, which replaces traditional door mechanisms with a rotating, turning-swivelling module.
This system allows the cabinet to open in a single fluid movement, revealing stored contents without requiring additional clearance space. By rotating on its own axis, the unit maintains circulation flow while providing full visibility and access.
Key functional features include:
- 180-degree turning-swivelling access within a compact vertical footprint
- Elimination of swing doors, reducing spatial constraints
- Smooth, controlled, and quiet motion for daily use
- Full exposure of contents for improved organization and retrieval
- Precise realignment into a clean, flush façade when closed
- Durable hardware engineered for long-term performance
The cabinet is offered in contemporary, transitional, and metal design variations, enabling the same functional platform to adapt across different material palettes and interior environments.
Result
The FurnSpin Linen Cabinet improves both spatial efficiency and user interaction within the bathroom. By removing the need for door clearance, it optimizes usable space while maintaining uninterrupted circulation.
Its rotating mechanism enhances accessibility and simplifies organization, allowing frequently used items to remain visible yet easily concealed. The addition of controlled movement introduces a tactile, intuitive experience that elevates everyday use.
The result is a space-efficient, design-driven furniture piece that integrates innovation, functionality, and aesthetics—transforming routine storage into a more fluid and refined experience.
