AvaTech YOU 400mm Double Walled Drawer System 101mm High Anthracite Hettich 9 305 816

400mm Anthracite Drawer System for Dark-Palette and Handleless Kitchen Builds

The AvanTech YOU drawer system from Hettich pairs steel construction with an Anthracite finish across the side profiles, making it the right pick for cabinet projects where the interior color and the hardware finish need to read as one continuous design. This set covers a 101mm side height and 400mm nominal length.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish throughout — the side profiles carry the dark tone into the drawer interior, not just the front.
• 101mm side height — a mid-height profile suited to everyday utensil and small-item drawers.
• 400mm nominal length — designed for cabinet boxes in the 400mm depth range; all set components are matched to this nominal length.
• Steel construction — formed steel profiles deliver structural rigidity without the bulk of solid wood sides.
• AvanTech YOU platform — a Hettich drawer system with engineered front fixing and adjustment built into the platform.

Where This System Fits in the Build

A 400mm nominal length suits shallower upper cabinets and island drawers where the cabinet depth is closer to 16 inches than a full 22-inch base run. The 101mm side height is proportional for a drawer holding cutlery, linens, or small accessories — deep enough to contain everyday contents, compact enough that the cabinet above it still carries useful storage. In a dark-finish kitchen, Anthracite hardware keeps the interior from reading as an afterthought when the drawer opens; the tone of the steel sides matches rather than contrasts the surrounding cabinetry. It also suits handleless fronts where the interior detail is more exposed during use.

Steel Profiles and Finish

The side profiles are steel, finished in Anthracite. Steel drawer sides resist the racking forces that wood box sides absorb through joinery, making the system stable across repeated loading cycles. The Anthracite coating is applied to the profile surfaces that face the interior, so the finish stays consistent whether the drawer is closed or pulled open. The AvanTech YOU platform is a Hettich-engineered system; front fixings, rear brackets, and any motion components must come from within the AvanTech YOU program to maintain the designed fit and adjustment function. Motion technology (soft-close, push-to-open) is not specified in the source data for this set and should be confirmed per the specific components ordered with this drawer pack.

Who Orders This Set

Cabinet shops running dark or two-tone kitchen programs reach for the Anthracite finish when the design calls for interior hardware that disappears into the cabinetry rather than standing out. Designers specifying handleless kitchens choose a matched interior color so the visible hardware inside the drawer reads as intentional. Contractors who work off detailed specifications and need to hit a finish code precisely will find Anthracite a standard option in the AvanTech YOU line. The 400mm nominal length targets a specific cabinet depth, so this set is ordered after the cabinet carcass dimensions are set — it is not a generic all-depth option.

A Matched Interior for Every Dark-Finish Project

When the design calls for hardware that holds its color from the outside of the cabinet to the inside of the drawer, Anthracite delivers that continuity at a nominal length and height that fits the shallower cabinet depths common in upper and island builds.
