The topic of this paper is hanging furniture. Nowadays, the principle of hanging furniture is applied in many furniture groups: these are mainly kitchens, bathrooms but also living and office spaces. In general, hanging furniture can be found in almost all definable furniture groups that interact with the building structure. Furniture is suspended from vertical walls or structures but also from ceilings or other auxiliary horizontal structures. The article defines the basic subdivision of suspended furniture into shelving systems, upper cabinets, lower cabinets and ceiling cabinets. In addition to basic aspects such as functionality of the furniture, principles of assembly and disassembly, manufacturability and transportability, safety is an important aspect of hanging furniture. A comprehensive assessment of the overall safety of the application of hanging furniture is required, which does not focus rigidly on the furniture part of the issue, but also perceives the interaction with the building or structure on which the furniture is hung. The paper describes the research started in this area, which is divided into sub-areas: the construction material of the hanging furniture, the connecting fittings of the hanging furniture structure, special connecting fittings, hanging fittings including anchoring technology, and finally the material design of the supporting structure (wall, ceiling).

Klíčová slova: hanging furniture, dowels, construction material, connecting fittings, construction material, hanging fittings
