Get ready for click furniture
Complex, frustrating and time-consuming assembly, missing parts and poor quality: Ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture has traditionally had several drawbacks in comparison to factory-assembled furniture. But what if all of that could change by re-thinking assembly? And what if all parts of the value change could benefit as a result?
Threespine® click furniture technology
by Välinge Innovation enables anyone to assemble furniture quickly, easily and with perfect results without using a single tool, screw or fastener. One simple “click” is all that’s needed.

Design with a new mindset Threespine®
can be used with vir-
tually all materials, and it provides a method to easily
combine ma-
terials in new innovative ways. There is a wide range of profiles/ joints available for use with a broad range of material thicknesses.
Compared to conventional fittings
with point loads, Threespine distrib- utes the weight over a larger area and thereby enables products to be designed in thinner dimensions. As a result, it is now possible to easily produce perfect joints in previous- ly
difficult applications such as 8
mm particle board and miter joints in compact laminate down to 6 mm.

No matter if the product is designed to be assembled in the factory or by the end-consumer, furniture with Threespine can have a high-end finish free from visible holes. In combination with very precise angles and high sta- bility, the technology offers a signifi- cant upgrade to today’s RTA furniture. Threespine thereby provides an attrac- tive alternative for RTA manufacturers looking to offer superior products. It also enables manufacturers of facto- ry-assembled furniture to switch to RTA in order to reduce logistics costs and lower their environmental impact without any negative impact on the design and quality of their products.

The key feature is the flexible plastic tongue that automatically connects boards or panels when pushed together. When pushing a panel into position, the tongue is forced backwards. As the panel reaches its final position, the tongue flexes back and into a groove on the opposite panel thereby connecting the panels.
