The hidden connectors behind modern furniture
The cleanest furniture often hides its cleverest engineering.
The joint shapes the experience
When two panels meet neatly, you see the line of the design rather than the work behind it. Cabinetmakers have long used dowels, screws, glued joints and specialist fittings. Precisely machined connectors add further possibilities, including some joints designed to be dismantled.
Connector choice affects more than assembly speed. It influences alignment, how a joint is tightened, how a piece travels and whether parts might be replaced. Different panel materials and locations call for different solutions.
Tested before specified
We are investigating precision-machined systems for KR8A. We have not selected or approved a final connector system, and the right answer may vary between joints.
The best engineering is often quiet. You notice a piece that feels considered, not the effort required to put it together.
The collections are in development
The right fit is coming.
