Spring cleaning on the way?

Get ready with Protek's revolutionary retractable furniture system

With the winter season well underway and spring now just around the corner, so is the infamous housekeeping appointment dreaded by most: spring cleaning!

The arrival of warm weather always brings a sense of rebirth, making it a valuable and unique opportunity for those in the mood for change and novelty. The days are finally getting longer and we feel bursting with energy.

Thanks to its revolutionary Bigfoot® hideaway furniture system, Protek® simplifies the household routine, transforming the space into a perfect ally to turn the dreaded spring cleaning into a useful and quick task.

Starting with a full room cleaning, Bigfoot® Firenze, as a storage unit, is perfect for organising all the necessary products, and as soon as we have finished with the hoover, Bigfoot® Laura allows us to store it comfortably inside, along with brooms and drying racks, and let it recharge its battery. And while we're at it, why not tidy up your wardrobe too? Bigfoot® Sofia contains everything you need to iron your clothes, thus enabling you to store them in the best possible way.

The idea is innovative, not to say revolutionary: making a perfect use of the space, even where there is none, thanks to the brilliant folding furniture system by Protek®, the Italian company with long experience in the design and manufacture of counterframes and systems for sliding doors and windows. 100% made in Italy, Bigfoot® is a patented, unique, state-of-the-art system able to recreate space which changes during the day and furniture that transforms themselves to expand, multiply, recombine and hide spaces, by obtaining the maximum of the comfort.

The system is composed by a pocket frame entirely made of aluminium, with a rigid and, and at the same time, lightweight structure, designed to host a Bigfoot® module. The pocket frame can be integrated into the wall, in order to take advantage of all the available space and becoming itself the new wall (the Architectural version), or applied directly against the wall, without the need to arrange floor fixing and with an extremely easy set-up (the Interior version). It is fitted for both plasterboard and finishing panels such as wainscoting, marbles, ceramics, MDF, by adapting itself with the furniture already placed into the room.

MODULES

Bigfoot Firenze is the module that allows you to tidily store your objects: from the kitchen to the bathroom, passing through the bedroom and living room, its versatility allows you to organise your domestic space in the best manner, thanks to its 5 trays. Suitable for 15 or 20 cm pocket frames for the aluminium version and 20 or 40 cm for the laminate version.

The module can be further equipped with Plexiglas or glass trays and electrical sockets, as well as fitted with an electronic lock, thus ensuring greater security. The laminate version can also be fitted with LED lights and a practical flap tray to transform the module into an elegant bar cabinet in a gesture. For greater ease of use, Bigfoot Firenze can be motorised so that it can be opened or closed by remote control or App.
