The Carve handle presents an unusual design approach where a secondary form appears to be carved from within the main handle body. You're looking at a study in positive and negative space, where the outer profile remains soft and rounded while an inner channel creates the grip area.

Where It Fits

This works particularly well on contemporary kitchen designs where you want hardware that makes a statement without overwhelming the cabinetry. The 160mm centre spacing fits standard door and drawer configurations, and the matt black finish suits modern colour schemes.

How It Works

Your fingers naturally fall into the carved channel, which provides a secure grip point. The inner section connects smoothly to the mounting points, creating one continuous form rather than separate components bolted together.

Design Consideration

The sculptural quality means this handle will be noticed, so it needs to align with your kitchen's overall character. It works best when you want the hardware to contribute to the design language rather than disappear into it. The distinctive profile may not suit every kitchen style, particularly more traditional schemes.

Build Quality

Made from zamac, a zinc alloy that provides durability while allowing for precise casting of the complex form. The matt black finish should resist everyday wear, though like all matt surfaces, it may show fingerprints more readily than gloss alternatives.

Options

Available in the 160mm centre spacing shown here, with overall dimensions of 180mm length by 31.5mm height. The handle requires bolt fixing, with fixings supplied separately.

Consider whether this level of design presence suits your kitchen. If you're drawn to the interplay of form and shadow, and your kitchen can support distinctive hardware, the Carve handle offers something genuinely different from standard profiles.
