Its design is reminiscent of the utopias of the 1960s, its construction has reached maturity, its choice of materials is more sophisticated than ever before and its functionality is as flexible as visionaries could wish for.

Called a "pivot cabinet" in English, this name - "pivot" means something like "pivot joint" or "swivel axis" - refers to the essential design element of the container: the individual drawers are swung open on an axis, not pulled open or folded down as is usually the case. This design idea was made famous by Joe Colombo's "Boby" roll container developed in 1970. The Italian architect was also one of the leading futuristic industrial designers of the 1960s, a time of optimism and visions of the future, which - following Herbert Marcuse's train of thought, for example - sought to pave the way out of the realm of necessity and into the realm of freedom. Designs such as Verner Panton's cantilever "Panton Chair", Olivier Mourgue's "Djinn" armchair, which adorned the interior of "2001 - A Space Odyssey", and Colombo's "Tube Chair" became icons. Colombo's "dynamic pieces of furniture" always aimed to be multifunctional.

Our swivel drawer container builds on the ideal of those designs, but doesn't just quote the utopias of past decades, but smartly brings the future into your home today. While Colombo and his colleagues were still enthusiastic about the newly developed plastics of the 1960s, we know better today and prefer sheet steel, which offers far greater stability and durability. The sheet steel thus reinforces the versatility of the container, as it remains stable and sturdy even when used in the children's room or kitchen. Bathroom, living room or entrance area - in any environment, the hinged drawer container takes on its intended function of storage, presentation and accessibility and, like any successful design object, catches the eye with its perfect form without imposing itself on the other furniture.

With an undivided surface area of around A4, the revolving drawers can hold larger and smaller items. The construction is well thought out and solid: The front round steel, which connects the top cover and base of the container, forms the swivel axis so that the drawers are flush with the rear steel tubes when closed; with the help of a small magnet on the rear wall, they dock into place with a gentle snap. And even if they don't beep or flash to let you know that the fridge needs to be refilled, the drawers reveal all the necessary and possible contents by swiveling open 270 degrees and providing a complete overview. At the bottom, the height-adjustable feet ensure that you can counteract any unevenness in the surface. And if you want to make your designer furniture even more mobile, we offer a separate set of castor feet for the swivel drawer container, which you can screw into place of the feet in no time at all.
