Anthracite Steel Drawer Side Profile for a Sharp, Concealed Look

This is the right-hand drawer side profile for Hettich's AvanTech YOU metal drawer system, 101mm tall and 400mm long, finished in Anthracite. It forms the structural right wall of the drawer box for shallow to mid-depth drawers in kitchens, baths, or custom casework where a dark, integrated aesthetic matters.

Key Features

• Anthracite finish delivers a dark, matte-tone look that disappears into dark-cabinet interiors or makes a deliberate design statement in contrast installations.
• Right-hand orientation means this profile is a single, handed component — pair it with the matching left-hand profile to complete one drawer side set.
• 101mm side height suits cutlery, flatware, and shallow utility drawers where a low-profile box keeps the drawer cavity open above.
• 400mm nominal length pairs with cabinets sized for that depth — components within AvanTech YOU are ordered by matching nominal length.
• Steel construction provides structural rigidity without the bulk of a wood box, keeping the interior volume clean and the load rating intact over time.
• AvanTech YOU platform means front fixings, rear brackets, and accessories are engineered to this system — components from other drawer systems will not interchange.

Where This Profile Fits in a Build

The 400mm nominal length targets cabinets with a corresponding interior depth — typically island or perimeter kitchen base cabinets, bath vanities, or casework in the 16-inch depth range. The 101mm side height is the low option in the AvanTech YOU height range, well-suited to cutlery drawers, spice drawers, or any shallow application where maximizing the stack of drawers in a run matters more than drawer volume per box. In a high-density kitchen design with four or five drawer boxes in a single base cabinet, a 101mm profile frees up more vertical room for the boxes above and below it.

Anthracite in the AvanTech YOU System

Anthracite is a dark charcoal-tone finish on steel. Inside a cabinet, it reads as a near-neutral dark that aligns with black interior liners, dark wood bottoms, and matte black hardware programs. It is also a deliberate choice for contrast — a dark drawer interior behind a light door front is an established detail in contemporary European kitchen design. Finish consistency across a run requires ordering all side profiles, front fixings, and system accessories in the same Anthracite finish, since AvanTech YOU components are available in multiple colors and finishes that do not blend cleanly when mixed.

Who Orders This Profile and When

Cabinet shops running AvanTech YOU as their production drawer system will order this profile as a component when building out a specific drawer size rather than buying a complete set. Design-build firms specifying a dark interior finish on a kitchen package will select Anthracite here to match the system's front fixings and accessories in the same color family. Renovation contractors retrofitting or replacing a single drawer in an existing AvanTech YOU installation will need to match both the nominal length and side height of the drawer being replaced, as well as the orientation — this is the right-hand member only.

The Right Component for a Consistent Anthracite Interior

When the goal is a dark, cohesive drawer interior across every box in the run, starting with the correct handed profile in the right finish and nominal length is the detail that keeps the install clean from the first drawer to the last.
