Concealed Hinge / HES Series

“Kids Design” is a group of ideas and activities about using the power of design to create a social environment that will contribute to the sound growth and development of children (who will be the next generation’s adults).
The Kids Design Awards (organized by an NPO called the Kids Design Association) is a program aimed at recognizing outstanding products, spaces, services, activities, and academic programs in terms of three design missions: [i] designs that contribute to the safety and security of children; [ii] designs that develop children’s creativity and shape their future; and [iii] designs that contribute to comfortably raising children.

The hinge is designed to prevent children’s fingers from injury when the door is opened or closed. The hinge moves in a unique trajectory when the door is moved, keeping the gap on the hinge side less than 5 mm.

MonoFlat LIN-X1000 Hinge (2017)

The Red Dot Awards are one of the top three design awards in the world, recognising outstanding product design and innovation. This year a jury of 40 experts reviewed over 5000 products from 54 countries and Sugatsune’s LIN-X 1000 was one of the few submissions to receive the coveted distinction of the Red Dot. The LIN-X1000 is a door opening mechanism with a unique lateral motion.

LDD- V100 Door Damper (2019)

The LDD-V100 door damper makes it possible to gently and silently close room and access doors with a weight of up to 100 kg and a width of up to 90 cm. The mechanism engages during the last 15 degrees and softly pulls the door shut. When opening the door, on the other hand, there is hardly any resistance. The damper works without a visible lever and can be integrated into the door in its entirety. This means it is invisible when the door is closed. The system also has no visually distracting bolt and works without one. A simple door knob is all that is required.
