Intelligent Illumination – AvanTech YOU LightTower by Hettich

Words by Jasmine Ashkar

Renowned for its extensive collection of intelligently designed furniture fittings, Hettich continues to elevate the functionality and experience of interiors with the unveiling of its AvanTech YOU LightTower. Featuring innovative integrated LEDs, the LightTower’s illuminated drawers impart heightened luxury, brilliantly shedding light on contents stored within each time they are opened.

Conceived as a remarkable evolution of the AvanTech YOU platform drawer system, the LightTower encompasses an elegant storage solution of tiered illuminated drawers housed within a single sleek unit. Drawing on Hettich’s signature aptitude for designing products that aesthetically enhance the building envelope whilst performing with exceptional functionality, the gracefully stacked tower form is generous in capacity and stands tall as a striking interior feature. Stoic as an inanimate storage larder, unique to the LightTower is its intriguing expression of drama when in use. As each drawer smoothly slides open across Hettich’s premium Quadro and Actro runners, LEDs awaken to beautifully flood diffused light over the items inside. This display of lively interaction not only sets the LightTower apart as an eye-catching furnishing but offers advanced accessibility by improving the visibility of stored goods.

Radiating refined style and bright light, the LightTower makes use of Hettich’s clever product synergy with the incorporation of AvanTech YOU Illumination technology. Celebrated for its discerning design, this technology has received a number of industry accolades, collecting the Interzum Award, Red Dot Award and iF Design Award for its innovation and flexibility. Dazzling 4,000K light strips clip cleanly to the side drawer profile and can be removed for customisable personalisation – which is an innate feature of all AvanTech YOU drawers. Powering the LEDs isa rechargeable battery pack that discretely adheres to the rear panel and, when needed, can simply be removed for charging. This elimination of cords and complicated electrical connections affords the LightTower easy installation, freeing the cabinet to exist independently of mains power points and be easily incorporated within a range of environments.

Astutely fabricated, the LightTower delivers enhanced functionality that not only answers the needs of a blurry-eyed trudge to the kitchen at night, it also becomes an arresting visual hallmark that elevates its presence beyond the typical larder to one of atmospheric elegance as a statement storage piece. Featuring five pre-assembled drawers in a selection of two widths, the LightTower’s composed anthracite colour and versatile lighting encourages designers and homeowners to imagine the possibilities of its application within residential and commercial spaces. Impressively stealing the limelight in any interior, Hettich’s AvanTech YOU LightTower revolutionises the storage experience with unparalleled technology and practicality that makes an undeniably opulent impression.
