Grass Vionaro Drawer Side Profile for Dark-Finish Interiors, Graphite

The Vionaro H249 drawer side profile is a steel drawer system component from Grass, cut to an 18-inch nominal length and finished in Graphite. At 9-3/4 inches (249mm) tall, it is the tallest Vionaro side height, suited for deep storage and pantry-style drawers where height is doing real work. This profile is a single drawer side; order components, runners, and hardware to suit your drawer configuration.

Key Features

• Graphite finish gives the drawer interior a dark, matte presence that pairs naturally with dark cabinet interiors, black hardware, and charcoal or anthracite fronts.
• H249 side height at 9-3/4 inches (249mm) is the tallest Vionaro profile, providing deep, high-capacity drawer walls for pots, pantry goods, and bulk storage.
• 18-inch nominal length suits shallower cabinet runs or compact pantry configurations where a shorter pull-out is needed.
• Steel construction delivers structural rigidity and a slim 1/2-inch wall thickness for the profile.
• Vionaro system platform ensures this profile works with Grass Vionaro runners, front fixings, backs, and Tavinea Optima interior organization components — all engineered as one system.

Where the H249 Height Makes Sense

The 249mm side height exists for drawers that carry tall or bulky contents — stacked cutting boards, tall canned goods, pots and lids, or pantry pull-outs where the full cabinet depth goes to work. At 18 inches nominal length, this profile suits a shallower cabinet box, a compact pull-out in an island, or a configuration where a shorter drawer is paired with the tall H249 wall height for maximum visible volume. Pair the tall side with a gallery rail or cross dividers to zone the interior and keep contents upright.

Graphite in a Dark-Finish Build

Graphite is a deliberate finish choice, not just a neutral. It reads as a dark matte gray-black on the interior drawer wall — the right call when the rest of the build runs dark: black or matte charcoal fronts, dark wire pulls, smoked glass, or deeply stained carcasses. The Graphite finish coordinates with other Vionaro components in the same color, including front fixings, backs, and Tavinea Optima divider hardware available in coordinated tones. Steel construction holds the finish without the visual weight of a painted wood side.

Who Specifies This Profile

Cabinet shops running contemporary dark-palette kitchens are the primary audience. A Graphite Vionaro interior reads as part of the design rather than a hidden utility component, which matters when fronts are handle-less or when the drawer is left open for display. Designers specifying pull-outs for kitchen islands or pantry towers with visible interiors will find the H249 height gives enough wall to anchor dividers and organization inserts without requiring a completely separate drawer-within-a-drawer approach. The 18-inch nominal length fits islands and smaller base cabinets that cannot take a full 21- or 24-inch run.

The Right Profile for the Job

When the design calls for a dark interior and the drawer needs to carry real volume, the Graphite H249 in 18-inch delivers both. It handles the storage load while keeping the interior part of the visual story.
