AvanTech YOU 550mm Double Walled Pot/Pan Drawer System 251mm High Anthracite Hettich 9 296 758

Hettich AvanTech YOU Pot and Pan Drawer System in Anthracite

The AvanTech YOU 251mm double-walled drawer system in Anthracite is a deep, steel-built kitchen drawer platform from Hettich, engineered for the heavy demands of a pot and pan drawer. The 550mm nominal length and 251mm side height make this the workhorse depth of the AvanTech YOU lineup, suited to large-format cabinetry where cookware storage needs both capacity and structural integrity.

Key Features

• Double-walled steel side profiles present a clean, seamless face on both interior and exterior walls while concealing all fasteners.
• 251mm side height provides deep containment for stockpots, cast-iron skillets, and stacked lids without a gallery rail extension.
• 550mm nominal length suits standard-depth kitchen cabinetry and coordinates with AvanTech YOU runners and back panels at the same system length.
• Anthracite finish delivers a dark, near-matte tone that reads as a design element alongside dark interiors and contemporary hardware.
• AvanTech YOU system compatibility means front fixings, back panels, runners, and cover caps are all sourced from the same engineered platform.
• Steel construction handles the concentrated load of heavy cookware without flexing at the joints.

Built for the Weight and Scale of Cookware Storage

A pot and pan drawer asks more from its box than any other kitchen drawer. Cast iron, heavy stainless pots, and stacked lids concentrate weight at the bottom of the box and shift during opening and closing. The AvanTech YOU's double-walled steel sides distribute that load along the full profile rather than relying on a wood corner joint, and the 251mm height keeps contents contained without requiring a secondary gallery rail above. At 550mm nominal length, the drawer reaches the back of a standard 24-inch base cabinet, so nothing ends up buried where it cannot be retrieved. The complete-system architecture means the runner, front fixing, and back panel all come from AvanTech YOU, which eliminates the guesswork of mixing components across brands or series.

Anthracite: A Finish That Works With Dark Interior Schemes

Anthracite occupies different design territory than Silver or White. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so the drawer interior reads as a receding plane — the cookware becomes the visual focus rather than the box itself. That quality makes Anthracite the natural pairing for cabinet interiors finished in dark laminates, charcoal thermofoils, or blackened wood grains. It also coordinates with Anthracite-finished drawer fronts and pulls without the slight mismatch that sometimes appears when a dark front meets a lighter interior box. The steel material takes the finish uniformly across both walls, so the color holds its consistency from the front fixing to the back panel when the full set is assembled in AvanTech YOU components.

Designed for Kitchen Professionals and High-Specification Renovations

Cabinet shops specifying a contemporary dark-finish kitchen will find AvanTech YOU Anthracite a straightforward match for schemes where every visible surface carries color intent. Designers sourcing hardware for a client renovation who wants integrated, handle-less drawer fronts over deep cookware storage can pair this system with AvanTech YOU's push-to-open or electrical opening options within the same platform. Homeowners building a serious cooking kitchen — one where accessibility to every pot matters — benefit from the 251mm height that keeps tall lids upright and the full-extension runner travel that brings the drawer completely out to the cabinet face. This is not a utility box for a laundry room; it is specified for kitchen environments where finish coordination and load capacity are both non-negotiable.

The Right Box for a Kitchen That Takes Cooking Seriously

When the design calls for dark interiors and the drawer has to carry real weight, the AvanTech YOU 251mm Anthracite system at 550mm delivers both. Specify the full set in Anthracite from runner to cover cap and the result is a drawer that looks intentional and holds up to the daily weight of a well-stocked kitchen.
