Product details

Thanks to its shallow depth and minimalist design, FLATMATE makes it possible to utilise spaces that are unsuitable for conventional furniture. The unconventionally designed secretary transforms long old corridors into a home office if required, provides a place to write letters in the bedroom or serves as a temporary workstation in a weekend home.
The compact dimensions make FLATMATE the ideal furniture for mobile users.

The FLATMATE is available in two different technology versions:

  • Technology package 1: The FLATMATE is fitted with an LED under-cabinet light with integrated socket. The light source can be easily replaced. The integrated socket is always located inside the FLATMATE at the top right.

  • Technology package 2: The FLATMATE is equipped with an LED light with soft-touch switch, socket and two USB sockets. The light source is included in the scope of delivery and is already installed. The light contains built-in LED lamps that cannot be replaced individually, but the entire technology unit can be easily removed and repaired or replaced with a new unit. The LED lamps are extremely durable.
    The integrated 220 V socket is located inside the FLATMATE at the top right. The two integrated USB sockets are located inside the FLATMATE at the top left.
The scope of delivery includes a three-part metal set that can be attached to the back wall, consisting of a pad holder, letter stand and shelf. The secretary has an additional door on both sides for additional storage space. The three compartments on each side also provide space for files and other items.
FLATMATE has a footprint of just 0.09 m² when closed, making it probably the smallest fully equipped secretary desk on the market. The integrated flexible interior with storage options for traditional writing instruments as well as tablet PCs and the like combines features of classic furniture with the new form of networked living and working.
We also offer the FLATMATE with a linoleum coating in four colours. The Forbo Furniture linoleum used is characterised by a silky matt and pleasantly warm surface with an unmistakable feel. Thanks to the natural raw materials, it is naturally antistatic and therefore extremely easy to clean and hygienic. And fingerprints also remain largely invisible. The material is made entirely from renewable raw materials such as linseed oil, resins, wood and limestone flour as well as harmless colour pigments.

FAQ

What does HPL and CPL mean? 
CPL stands for Continuous Pressed Laminates. HPL stands for High Pressure Laminates (HPL with a thickness of > 2 mm are according to standard EN 438 compact panels). 

What is special about the HPL coating on our black matte furniture? 
Our HPL laminate impresses with its high abrasion, impact, and scratch resistance. It is ideal for horizontal as well as heavily used surfaces. The super matte surface feels velvety warm and is characterized by its excellent anti-fingerprint properties. This makes our HPL laminate unique and universally applicable.

Are there any special care instructions for our HPL coating? 
The HPL coating does not require special care due to its resistant and hygienic, dense surface. The surface is generally easy to clean. It is important to note that sanitary cleaners or cleaning agents with abrasive components should not be used for cleaning, as such cleaners can cause changes in gloss level and scratches. 

What distinguishes HPL and CPL?
 The term CPL already provides a hint about the manufacturing process, meaning CPL is produced in continuously operating double belt presses with a pressing pressure between 30 and 70 bar and temperatures between 150°C and 170°C. Depending on the laminate thickness and press zone length, the feed rate varies between 8 and 15 m/min. HPL is produced in discontinuously operating multi-daylight presses with a pressing pressure between 50 and 90 bar and temperatures of > 120°C. Very often, the pressure in connection with the manufacturing process of laminates is also given in Mega-Pascals (MPa). The multi-daylight presses have between 10 and 20 levels, and each level accommodates approximately 8 laminate sheets with a nominal thickness of 0.50 to 0.80 mm. Depending on the press loading and the maximum temperature, the complete pressing cycle including cooling takes between 20 and 60 minutes.

Delivery through the retailer
Müller Möbelwerkstätten collaborates with a variety of furniture retailers. This allows us to have the furniture purchased from our online shop delivered to you through them. We send the furniture to the logistics center of the respective retailer, from where our competent partner takes over the processing of your order. They will contact you to arrange a delivery appointment and optional assembly booking. 

1. Why is the goods not delivered directly to me? 
In most cases, delivery through our retailer involves bulky goods that require increased logistical effort for delivery. If, for example, the order were delivered directly to you by a freight forwarder, this would correspond to delivery only to the curb. With our retailers, however, we have specially trained personnel who have been trained by us for the assembly and transportation of Müller Möbelwerkstätten furniture. Particularly noteworthy for the "delivery through our specialist retailer" service are: 
Scheduled delivery according to desired date 
Delivery behind the first lockable door 

2. Are all furniture items delivered by the retailer? 
No, in not all cases can we offer this service. This naturally depends on whether there is a retailer in close proximity. In addition, our small furniture items can regularly be shipped with a parcel service (GLS). 

3. Assembly by our retail partner 
Assembly can be booked separately at checkout in our online shop. The costs depend on the corresponding value of the goods. The option of assembly is, of course, not mandatory, but is recommended for selected furniture items due to their complexity. In addition to the actual assembly, this service offers further advantages: 
Carrying upstairs to the apartment included 
Subsequent disposal of packaging Furthermore, the service is recommended for selected furniture items due to their complexity, such as: Modular Plus wardrobe Plane wardrobe Flai wardrobe

Yes, in some countries (e.g., DE, AT, CH), we offer an assembly service. Click on "Premium Service" in the shopping cart, and your furniture will be assembled at your home by a specialist retailer for an additional fee.
