AS PER WEBSITE

Speaking to Express Hotelier & Caterer about their plans in this direction, Jurgen Wolf, managing director, Hafele India Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, said, "Design centre, as a concept, is an innovative way of showcasing a product range to the target clientele. A final call on starting these centres in India was taken sometime during November - December 2003. We started scouting for prime locations in potential Indian cities and are now close to launching our first design centre in New Delhi."

The design centre concept is inspired from the prevalent showroom concept and is a more interactive and polished version of the latter. The main difference here is that the design centres showcase products only from the owning company and in this case it will be Hafele. The most unique aspect about design centres is the presentation and product display.

Asserts Wolf, "Design centres offer a lot of flexibility and opportunity to use ones creativity in terms of product display. It allows us to display the entire product range in a real life functioning environment. This approach allows the customer to get a clear picture on the kind of product he/she should go for, analyse its applicability and performance and the most important of it all its suitability. These centres will provide an exceptional and state-of-the-art design environment which will cater to architects, interior designers, contractors, manufacturers, dealers and ultimately end users."

Located at Chittranjan Park, the 'Hafele Design Centre' in New Delhi is spread across 3,200 square feet area and is scheduled for launch by the end of July 2004. Plans on the Bangalore outlet have already been finalised. Located at Landford Road, the centre measuring approximately 3,000 square feet will be launched around the same time as the New Delhi centre. "We are in the process of identifying the right location for our Mumbai design centre. It will be a much bigger place because we also intend to house our Mumbai office in the same premise."

Apart from showcasing the entire range Hafele markets in India (kitchen fittings, furniture fittings, door hardware, glass fittings, sliding fittings, lighting and bathroom accessories), the design centre will focus on offering 'cutting-edge' products (for example DIALOCK Touchless Access Control products for doors and furniture). This will be a standard feature for all the design centres to be opened in the future in Bangalore and Mumbai.

Wolf also wants to make the design centres a meeting place for his customers. "Hafele Design Centres will also become a social meeting place on account of a host of Hafele parties which will be held here. All the centres will have areas (kitchen, roof gardens, courtyards, etc) where we will have regular events for invited customers. The purpose is to encourage an exchange between the customers and give them an opportunity to understand Hafele," informed Wolf.

Various other strategies will be adopted to create awareness and promote the products besides building the Hafele brand among the prospective customers. These would include using the design centre as educational centres to hold seminars about the latest product trends and training sessions for the dealers to help them better understand the range. This apart, the centres will witness product launches from the house of Hafele on a regular basis.

Hafele will also be launching their 'DIALOCK Touchless Access Control' products for doors and furniture at the Express Hotelier & Caterer Tradeshow to be held from June 3-5, 2004 at Chennai Trade Centre. The company also, recently launched two new products for the hospitality market viz 'IDEA +' a new modular table and desk system and UV Glass Gluing Technology for furniture applications.

The 'IDEA +' product range provides unparalleled flexibility and individuality by allowing complete freedom of design for desks and other types of office tables. The different components can be combined in almost every way, whether it is a round, oval, rectangular or corner shaped desk or table design. The latest innovation in this product range is the IDEA + MOTION which is fitted with an electric lift system that allows the user to adjust the table or desk to any desired height by simply pushing a button. With a height adjustability ranging from 605 mm to 1,280 mm and a maximum load capacity of 180 kilogram, a working desk can also be converted into a conference table or a presentation platform.

The UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Gluing Technology for furniture applications includes a comprehensive range of special fittings, from hinges to adapters for furniture legs, furniture handles, shelf holders and runners through to locks and catches. Explaining the features of this product, Wolf said, "The gluing kit includes all necessary adhesives and processing equipment. This specially developed system also allows one to connect stainless steel legs with glass tabletops easily. The UV gluing technique provides an incredibly strong and reliable bond between stainless steel, glass and wood components. Another advantage of the technology is that the glue remains entirely invisible creating a clean and almost magical connection."
