The Base handle in Inox Look takes the fundamental concept of a bent rod and strips away material to create something distinctly architectural. Rather than following the typical curved profile, this handle presents clean geometric lines with carefully considered proportions that work across different kitchen styles.
Where It Fits
At 160mm centres, this handle suits standard drawer fronts and smaller cabinet doors throughout your kitchen. The brushed steel appearance of the Inox Look finish works particularly well in contemporary kitchens, though its restrained design means it won't dominate more traditional schemes either.
How It Works
You grip the handle along its 176mm length, with the 32mm projection giving your fingers comfortable clearance from the door or drawer front. The linear form means your hand naturally finds the right position without thinking about it.
Design Consideration
This handle works best when you want hardware that feels considered but not conspicuous. The geometric reduction from a simple bent rod creates visual interest without calling attention to itself. However, if your kitchen design relies on handles as a focal point or decorative element, you might find this approach too understated.
Build Quality
Made from Zamac, a zinc alloy that provides good strength while allowing for precise manufacturing. The Inox Look finish gives you the appearance of brushed stainless steel with the consistency that comes from a controlled coating process. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee.
Closing Guidance
Consider this handle if you appreciate design that shows its thinking, where the process of refinement is part of the appeal. The 160mm centre spacing is common enough to work with most kitchen layouts, but verify this matches your specific door and drawer dimensions before specifying.
