New storage idea
Fetim has expanded its Duraline concept by the addition of the “Kubiko” system. This is based on a cube measuring 40x40x40 cm. There are also cubes measuring 120x40x40 cm with three compartments and 200x40x40 cm with five compartments. These can be combined with each other or with the associated accessories (plastic castors, semi-transparent plastic panels, cardboard and plastic boxes). Kubiko is available in either beech or maple décor.
