Häfele at the 2024 International Woodworking Fair (IWF)
The International Woodworking Fair (IWF) is “where the woodworking business does business” – and as a leading source of hardware, fitting systems and lighting, we’ll be showcasing Häfele products perfect for designers, architects and builders at this year’s show in Booth C1940. Select Häfele IWF 2024 booth highlights include:

With Contour, drawer organization is no longer a compromise between functionality and style. It represents a new standard in customizable home storage solutions, offering unmatched versatility, quality, and ease of use.
Concepta III:
Pivoting. Pocketing. Perfection. Concepta III offers a reliable cabinet door solution with quick installation, simple adjustments and flexible design.
Open living spaces have been an important trend in interior design for several years. The new Hawa Concepta III supports this new kind of living by creating transitional spaces within the home - from kitchen to living room or from workplace to dining room in a more fluid way than ever before.
Doors of any size can be pivoted, slid-in sideways and positioned in an extremely small space with little effort. They can then be brought out again with a gentle tap and closed flush with the surface, leaving only a beautiful, aesthetic front to be seen.
This works so easily and intuitively that it is even possible to dispense with handles. End-users weren’t the only consideration during the development of the Hawa Concepta III. The system impresses with its simplicity, even during installation and adjustment. This is all based on technology that is just as invisible as a kitchen that is currently not in use.
Axilo®:
Easy. Convenient. Efficient. AXILO® by Häfele is a revolutionary cabinet leveling system. The combination of the adjusting tool and the adjustable feet makes leveling kitchen, commercial or garage cabinets a simple and comfortable operation.
- Ergonomic - No more bending over, crawling, or stretching. The AXILO® adjusting tool can be positioned and operated from any angle, making it especially practical in areas that are difficult to access, including the rear plinth feet.
- Efficient - Since you always work in front of the cabinet with AXILO®, the level remains in view, saving time and energy.
- Quick - Convenient operation with a power tool is also possible – thanks to a 1/4” chuck, both in the AXILO® adjusting tool and in the AXILO® extension.
- Long reach - The unique AXILO® adjusting tool acts as an extended arm – with the additional extension you can even adjust the hard-to-reach rear feet on back corner base units.
- Universal - AXILO® can be used for all types of cabinets - from a kitchen base unit to office cabinetry and wardrobes.
Ixconnect Universal Connector 16/64:
|
|
One fitting for countless applications makes for easy installation by sliding on, hooking in and snapping in. The new universal connector UC 16/64 from Häfele is a fitting that combines a surprisingly large number of different furniture connector solutions into just one product. |
This is possible thanks to its complex, well-thought-out shape, which was developed and patented by Häfele.
The universal connector UC 16/64 can be screwed on, and then hung, clipped or pushed in (depending on the application) as a single element or as a combination of two or more identical parts. It can be mounted at different angles thanks to locking points, and a distinction between frame and panel parts is no longer necessary. Because the small fitting made of polycarbonate is so versatile, inventory in the workshop is reduced. It also has a clear advantage during assembly as a one-part solution for a variety of applications. The universal connector is 16 mm wide, 64 mm long and 16 mm high.

Adjustable Shelf Lighting:
The Adjustable Shelf Lighting System from Häfele allows lighting to be easily integrated into both adjustable and fixed shelving in closets, pantries and cabinetry without complicated cable management. Our innovative system features LED light bars that are powered by narrow aluminum bus bars integrated into each side of the casework. The result is horizontal shelf illumination, discretely located and easily repositioned – by designers, installers and owners.
Customers can order standard length or custom length light bars through our Häfele Service+ program. Custom length light bars ship within 10 days from our warehouse after the order is received to ensure quick but effective manufacturing and delivery. Our light bars are delivered ready to install and are UL Certified with a running lifetime of 50,000 hours.
Wireless Controls:
A wide variety of wireless wall switches, remote controls and motion sensors can be used to Control Hafele lighting. With the new Easy Pairing feature, a simple push of a button is all that is needed to pair the lights with any of the wireless switches. Customers can use the Hafele Connect Mesh App customize their lighting controls with groups, scenes and schedules.
Magnetic Reed Switch:
|
|
We know that digging around in that inevitable kitchen “junk drawer” is much easier when you have lighting that illuminates the contents inside. With Hafele’s Magnetic Reed switches, it is easier than ever to add lighting to cabinet and drawer interiors. |
Häfele’s reed switches are activated with a magnet – meaning when the two are in proximity, your lights will shut off. When the magnet is removed (i.e., the cabinet door is opened) the lights will come on. Magnets can either be surface-mounted on the back of a cabinet door or within a drawer, or recess-mounted for simple, hidden control of your interior cabinet lighting.
Free Slim Flap:
Maximum flexibility, efficiency and convenience in minimal space. Optimize your space and add smooth, continuous door movements to your projects with Free Slim Flap, coming late 2025 to our growing family of Free Lift-Up cabinet fittings.
Häfele’s new Free Slim Flap provides your customers the ability to move freely and flexibly outside the cabinetry without being hindered by traditional cabinet doors that swing out and take up extra space. With whisper-quiet damping and multiple door opening options, the Free collection offers perfect coordination with any space.
With a slim width of only 8mm, users can maximize the interior space of the cabinet with ease. Also, the identical lift mechanisms for multiple flap fittings as well as the right-left capability of all fitting models helps to reduce the number of fitting types by about 90% compared to conventional flap fitting families.
Choose between several installation options: traditional screw assembly or “invisible” integration into the side panel from the inside or the outside.
Häfele Free Slim will be available in grey, white or anthracite while the cover caps can be painted any color, allowing for unlimited customization options to match your cabinetry.
