Drawers, doors and lifting systems – a study into the real usage of kitchens.

FIRA Project Manager Sue Calver presents the findings of a FIRA funded study for Blum into the way that real-life kitchens are used and the impact this has on the design, manufacture and installation of furniture fittings. Blum have been monitoring a broad selection of European kitchens over the last 25 years.  The study was the winner of a Design and Innovation competition held by FIRA to celebrate its 60th Anniversary. This enabled Blum to widen their research to include a further 22 kitchens in homes across Britain. To RSVP: Hannah Barrett: email hbarrett@fira.co.uk
