AvanTech YOU drawer system by Hettich: stylish details for maximum customization
The AvanTech YOU drawer system, developed on Hettich's innovative platform concept, is a perfect solution for the market to design drawers with more than 20,000 combinations of different colours, formats and materials and give distinctive character to kitchen furniture. In fact, lately the drawer no longer has the only function of containing objects, but has become a real selling point for producers and a style detail for the end customer.

 

An option with a great visual effect

Born with a precise objective, the AvanTech YOU drawer system aims to offer a tool for maximum customization allowing you to best express the characteristics and philosophy of the furniture manufacturer’s brand. Hettich has given further impetus to the design of the drawer by creating an optional with a great visual effect: the "luminous signature". It is a LED lighting system that highlights the profiles of the drawer, giving a captivating detail to the squared and modern shapes of the structure.

 

An award-winning drawer system

The LED can be integrated into the drawer side thanks to a simple clip assembly. The homogeneous light of the 4000 K LED illuminates open drawers from the inside or creates bright spots on the outside. The light interacts with the glossy or satin edge of the glass inlays, producing particular optical effects. The necessary energy is supplied by a rechargeable power supply system to avoid unsightly and complicated electrical connections.

The AvanTech YOU drawer system with the luminous signature has been appreciated by the juries of important international awards, winning the Interzum Award 2021 in the High Product Quality category, the Red Dot Design Award 2022 for its design with a high level of customization and finally the iF Design Award 2022.
