Blaze 2 - Brushed Anthracite

The Blaze 2 is a linear aluminium handle from Blum with a Nordic-inspired design. Its surface features a subtle inclination that catches light as you reach for it, creating visual interest through this simple geometric detail.

Where It Fits

At 200mm long with an 18mm profile, this handle works well on standard drawer fronts and smaller cabinet doors. The brushed anthracite finish suits contemporary kitchens, particularly those with darker cabinetry or where you want handles that blend rather than contrast.

How It Works

The handle consists of two parts: a hidden mounting component and the visible linear grip. This construction allows for secure fixing while maintaining the clean exterior lines. The screw fixing method provides reliable attachment, and fixings are included.

Why It Matters

The light-catching surface detail serves a practical purpose. As you reach for the handle, this subtle angle provides visual feedback, making it easier to locate and grip. The linear form gives your kitchen a consistent, understated appearance without drawing attention away from the overall design.

Design Consideration

This handle works best when you want consistent horizontal lines across your kitchen. The Nordic aesthetic suits minimalist and contemporary schemes, but may feel too understated if your kitchen calls for more decorative hardware. The 200mm length means it will span most drawer widths comfortably.

Build Quality

Made from aluminium with a brushed anthracite finish that resists fingerprints and daily wear. The two-part construction ensures the mounting remains secure while the visible element maintains its clean profile. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee.

Closing Guidance

Consider whether the subtle, linear aesthetic matches your kitchen's character. If you prefer handles that make a statement, this may be too restrained. If you want hardware that supports the overall design without competing with it, the Blaze 2 could work well in your space.
