Anthracite Steel for a Sharp, Purposeful Interior

The AvanTech YOU drawer system in Anthracite is a 101mm-height, 270mm-length steel drawer set from Hettich, built for cabinet interiors where a dark, low-profile look is the spec rather than an afterthought. At 270mm nominal length, this pack suits compact base cabinet depths — think narrow base units, desk pedestals, and tight utility pulls — where a full-depth box would overrun the cabinet.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish on steel construction — a dark, near-matte tone that integrates naturally into dark-on-dark interiors or reads as a deliberate contrast behind light fronts.
• 101mm side height — a low-profile drawer wall suited for shallow organizational drawers, cutlery pulls, and top-drawer locations below an appliance garage or sink.
• 270mm nominal length — engineered for compact cabinet depths, from narrow base units to drawer pedestals where longer systems simply don't fit.
• Steel side profiles — structural walls that replace wood drawer sides entirely, with the running gear integrated into the system.
• AvanTech YOU platform — Hettich's engineered drawer system where sides, runners, and front fixings are designed together as one unit.

Where This System Fits

A 270mm nominal length drawer system belongs in cabinetry built for compact spaces. Narrow base cabinets in kitchen islands, bathroom vanities with limited depth, and office pedestals are the natural applications. The 101mm side height keeps the drawer profile low, which makes it appropriate for the top position in a stacked drawer bank where headroom between the drawer and the shelf or countertop is tight. It also suits shallow organizational pulls — a dedicated cutlery drawer, a small utensil drawer beside the range, or a flat-items drawer in a home office setup — where stacking height matters more than interior volume.

Finish and Construction

The Anthracite finish on steel sets this system apart from white and silver variants in the same family. In handleless kitchen designs with dark laminate or painted fronts, Anthracite sides create a consistent look when the drawer is open — the interior walls match or recede rather than flashing bright silver or white against a dark front. In lighter interiors, the same finish reads as intentional contrast, which some designers specify precisely for that effect. The steel construction means the side profiles are structural: they do not flex under load the way a thin wood box can, and they present clean, flat faces inside and out without visible fasteners.

Who Orders This System

Cabinet shops building handleless dark-interior kitchens reach for Anthracite as the finish that keeps the drawer's inside wall consistent with the front. Designers specifying compact base units for a bathroom or a built-in office component use the 270mm length because no other nominal length in the AvanTech YOU line fits the available depth. Contractors retrofitting existing cabinetry with a shallow nominal depth also land here for the same reason. The 101mm side height is the spec that attracts buyers fitting a low-profile drawer into a location with limited vertical clearance above the box.

A Compact System That Works as Hard as the Space Demands

At 270mm and 101mm tall in Anthracite steel, this AvanTech YOU pack delivers a precise fit for the compact drawer locations that standard-depth systems overlook — and a finish that works whether the interior is meant to disappear or to show.
