[0006] WO 2020 / 006589 A1 describes a furniture fitting having two hinged fitting parts for movably supporting a furniture door, wherein the first fitting part can be recessed into the side wall of the furniture carcass. In this way, the first fitting part of the furniture fitting can be integrated into the side wall in a very compact manner, with the arm of the fitting part being guided through a recess on the front side of the side wall. However, this furniture fitting can only be used in limited applications. Specifically, difficulties arise when the furniture carcass rests directly against a room wall or against an adjacent furniture carcass. In this case, the movable furniture part could collide with the room wall or a movable furniture part of an adjacent furniture carcass, hindering the movement of the movable furniture part or even rendering it impossible to move. Summary of the Invention
