This is Blum's MERIVOBOX drawer system with a smoked glass panel insert, finished in Orion grey matt. The drawer box stands 192mm high with an internal height of 168mm, giving you substantial storage depth while maintaining the clean lines that glass-sided drawers are known for.

Where It Fits

You'll typically see this in contemporary kitchens where the internal organisation needs to be part of the visual design. The smoked glass panel runs along the drawer side, so the contents remain visible but softened. It works particularly well in island units or tall storage where you want to see what's inside without the starkness of clear glass.

How It Works

The drawer runs on Blum's BLUMOTION system, which means it closes softly and stays put when you stop it at any point. You pull the drawer out and the smoked glass panel shows you what's stored inside, while the Orion grey framework provides the structure. The system handles up to 40kg of weight, so it's built for real kitchen storage rather than just display.

Why It Matters

Being able to see into your drawers changes how you use your kitchen. You'll know immediately if you're running low on something, and everything stays more organised when it's on display. The smoked finish means the contents don't dominate visually the way they might with clear glass, so your kitchen maintains its calm appearance even when the drawer is full.

Design Consideration

This works best when you're comfortable with some visibility into your storage. While the smoked glass softens what's inside, you'll still see the general shapes and colours of your items. If you prefer completely concealed storage, a solid drawer box would serve you better. The grey finish needs to work with your other hardware choices too.

Build Quality

The mechanism is Blum's proven BLUMOTION system with their lifetime guarantee. The steel construction handles the stated weight capacity reliably, and the soft-close action stays consistent over time. The smoked glass panel is properly integrated into the drawer structure, not just stuck on as an afterthought.

Options

This particular version is 192mm high with the smoked glass panel and Orion grey finish. Blum makes MERIVOBOX in different heights and with various side panel options, so your kitchen designer can match this to your specific storage needs and visual preferences.

The key question for your kitchen is whether you want this level of visibility into your drawer contents. If seeing your storage helps you stay organised and you like the contemporary look, this system delivers both function and visual appeal.
