fiókra

Fiókra is a Hungarian word that translates to "drawer" in English. It refers to a sliding compartment within a piece of furniture, typically a desk, chest of drawers, or cabinet, designed for storing various items. Drawers are commonly used to organize and keep things out of sight, facilitating a tidier living or working space.

The design of a fiókra can vary widely. They can be made from wood, metal, or plastic, and often feature handles or knobs for easy opening and closing. The interior of a fiókra can be left plain or divided into smaller sections to further enhance organization, particularly for smaller objects like stationery or cutlery. The sliding mechanism can be simple wooden runners or more sophisticated ball-bearing slides for smoother operation and greater weight capacity.

Fiókra are integral to the functionality of many furniture items. In offices, they store documents, pens, and other work-related supplies. In bedrooms, they house clothing and personal belongings. Kitchens utilize fiókra for utensils, linens, and food items. The ubiquity of the drawer highlights its practical and enduring design in furniture making and household organization across many cultures, though the specific term "fiókra" is unique to the Hungarian language.
