The Flat handle in polished brass is a straightforward cabinet handle with clean, unadorned lines. At 206mm long with a 192mm centre spacing, this is Blum's take on the minimalist bar handle that has become standard in contemporary kitchen design.

Where It Fits

This handle works across drawer fronts and cabinet doors in modern and transitional kitchens. The 192mm centres suit most standard cabinet widths, and the polished brass finish brings warmth to kitchens where you want metal accents that feel more considered than chrome or steel.

How It Works

You grip the flat profile between thumb and fingers to pull drawers and doors open. The zamac construction provides the weight and solidity you expect from a quality handle, while the slim 7.5mm width means it sits close to the cabinet face without protruding significantly into the kitchen.

Why It Matters

Polished brass ages and develops character over time, which some kitchens benefit from more than others. In the right setting, this patina becomes part of the kitchen's story. The flat profile also means less dust collection and easier cleaning than more decorative handle shapes.

Design Consideration

Polished brass works well in kitchens with warm timber, natural stone, or painted cabinets in cream, sage, or deeper colours. It can look out of place in very cool, grey-toned schemes. The brass will tarnish naturally unless regularly polished, so consider whether this suits how you want your kitchen to age.

Build Quality

Zamac construction provides durability with a substantial feel in the hand. The polished brass finish is applied over the base metal. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting confidence in the construction quality.

Consider how the brass will work with your other kitchen metals and whether you prefer the living finish that develops over time, or if you would rather maintain the bright polish with regular care.
