Where Northern Hifive cabinets work well
These cabinets can support several workplace storage requirements without closing off the room. Use the compact format in a private office, reception zone or meeting room where a smaller footprint is useful. It can hold frequently used materials while allowing the contents to remain visible through the glass.
The wider sideboard is suited to larger meeting rooms, open-plan offices and shared project areas. Its broader surface and floor-standing profile can help establish a practical storage zone along a wall, while the sliding doors keep access simple in busy circulation areas.
How to choose between the Hifive models
Start with available wall width
Measure the wall or run of furniture where the cabinet will stand, allowing enough surrounding space for comfortable access and visual balance. The collection includes a 100 cm floor-standing cabinet and a 200 cm sideboard, so the available width is the clearest first distinction.
Consider storage role and room scale
Choose the smaller model when you need contained storage for one team, room or work zone. The 200 cm sideboard makes more sense when storage should serve several users or form a substantial part of the room layout. Sliding doors are especially practical where a clear walkway must be maintained in front of the cabinet.
Materials, finishes and access
Glass doors keep stored items visible and give the cabinets a lighter presence than fully opaque storage. Oak elements bring a warmer, more tactile character; the compact cabinet is described with oiled oak, while the wider sideboard combines glass and oak. Beige and black colour options allow the collection to work with both restrained and contrasting interiors.
The collection is based on freestanding, sliding-door storage rather than acoustic treatment or hanging folder frames. If secure access matters, check the selected configuration for the cylinder lock option and confirm that its internal arrangement suits the items you plan to store.
What to check before selecting
- Measure the available width and confirm the cabinet’s position within the room layout.
- Decide whether a compact 100 cm format or a wider 200 cm sideboard better matches the storage demand.
- Consider whether visible contents support your workflow or whether your storage needs call for a different cabinet type.
- Select beige or black according to the surrounding furniture, walls and desired visual contrast.
- Confirm access and security requirements, including whether a cylinder lock is needed.
