The LEGRABOX Free is Blum's contemporary drawer box system, designed around clean lines and minimal visual weight. At just 12.8mm thick, the drawer sides are notably slim with straight internal and external faces. This C height version gives you 177mm of internal depth in an Orion grey matt finish.

Where It Fits

This works well in modern kitchens where you want the cabinetry to feel light and uncluttered. The slim profile means the drawers integrate cleanly with contemporary door styles, and the grey finish complements both warm and cool colour schemes. The 177mm height suits general storage, from cutlery and utensils to medium-sized items like food containers.

How It Works

The drawer box mounts on Blum's runner system, which can be specified with soft-close BLUMOTION or push-to-open TIP-ON mechanisms. When you pull the drawer, the motion feels controlled and smooth throughout the full extension. The system maintains this quality even when the drawer is heavily loaded.

Why It Matters

In daily use, you notice the difference in how these drawers move. There's no catching or binding, and they stay level even when loaded unevenly. The slim sides also mean you gain interior space compared to thicker drawer systems, while the straight faces make cleaning straightforward.

Design Consideration

The minimal aesthetic works best when you want the focus on your kitchen's overall form rather than individual components. However, if you prefer more traditional detailing or substantial-feeling joinery, this streamlined approach might feel too understated for your kitchen.

Build Quality

The drawer sides are steel with the Orion grey matt coating, designed to handle dynamic loads up to 40kg in standard applications or 70kg for wider drawers over 600mm. The runner mechanism is engineered to maintain smooth operation throughout its working life.

Options

The LEGRABOX system comes in various heights and finishes. You can specify different runner options including soft-close only or push-to-open with soft-close. The drawers can be supplied fully assembled to your exact dimensions or as components for assembly during installation.

Consider how this fits with the visual weight you want in your kitchen. If you're drawn to clean, contemporary lines and want drawers that work smoothly without drawing attention to themselves, this system delivers exactly that.
