This is an internal drawer system from Blum that sits inside your existing cabinets. The drawer box itself is 129mm high with Orion grey matt sides, designed to hold up to 40kg of kitchen items while closing softly every time.

Where It Fits

You need at least 453mm of cabinet depth for this system to work properly. The 450mm nominal length makes it suitable for most standard base units, though the exact cabinet width can vary depending on your kitchen layout.

How It Works

The drawer runs on Blum's BLUMOTION runners, which means it closes gently on its own once you give it a gentle push. You pull it open manually. The system includes matting in the base to prevent items from sliding around when you open and close the drawer.

Why It Matters

That soft-close action means no more slamming drawers, which is particularly valuable in open-plan kitchens or early morning coffee runs. The 40kg weight capacity handles heavy items like cast iron pans or full dinner services without strain. The internal drawer height of 105mm gives you practical storage space for cutlery, utensils, or smaller kitchen tools.

Build Quality

The drawer sides are made from MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) in a matt grey finish that won't show fingerprints easily. Blum backs this system with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting the engineering quality of their BLUMOTION mechanism.

Design Consideration

This works well when you want consistent drawer operation throughout your kitchen, but the grey finish needs to complement your overall colour scheme. The 129mm external height requires specific cabinet sizing, so your kitchen designer needs to plan the installation height at 146mm from the outset.

Installation

The system uses screw fixings, though these aren't included with the drawer box itself. This is typically handled during your kitchen installation rather than as a retrofit addition.
