What does the abbreviation FNP stand for?

The abbreviation FNP comes from the vocabulary of urban planning and stands for Flächennutzungsplan: land use plan. In 1989 the Berlin city authorities undertook a public consultation to help them determine their future land use plan. And needed a shelving system which provided a maximum of storage space with flexible compartments in which to file the responses. The result is the FNP.

Can FNP panels and shelves be repositioned at a later date or are their positions fixed?

The panels and shelves can be repositioned if so required.

How are the Moormann FNP shelves coated?

The MDF and Bicolor FNP shelves all melamine resin coated. The white FU shelves (birch plywood) are coated in melamine resin the red and black coated FU shelves in phenol resin

Can the Moormann FNP system be used in the bathroom?

The material FU is glued watertight, thus FU can be used in the bathroom.
The MDF, however, absorbs moisture and swells. Consequently FNP units in MDF are not suitable for damp locations.

Do I need a FNP stabilising set to secure my FNP?

For free standing FNP units a tightening set is always recommended, does however require a shelf combination of at least 3 columns x 3 rows (i.e s x h: 35 cm x b 33 cm)

Design Story

The Design

In the spirit of Nils Holger Moormann philosophy the designer Axel Kufus combines a minimalist shape with an innovative design principle in FNP shelving system. The simple design of the FNP Moormann shelving ensures the transparency of the construction remains clearly in the foreground. Since all parts stabilize each other, the shelf is very strong - yet always appears delicate. Moormann's FNP is functional and easy to build. Into the side walls are slotted aluminium rails which support the shelves. The shelves in turn fix and stabilise the rails. Thus the FNP shelf system, as with all all Moormann furniture exists without the need for additional connectors and can be assembled without tools. Through the intelligent construction principle the spacing of the side walls and shelves ans thus the size of the compartment can be easily varied and expanded at any point. The Moormann shelf thus has the variability to adapt to any conditions. Even free standing in a room. In such cases a especially developed FNP tightening set stabilises the structure. With the (smow) FNP Individual configuration you have the possibility to create your own personal FNP model. Side panels and shelves can be selected, colours and the shelf heights adjusted and accessories added to create your perfect FNP system.
