Design Fully in Motion: Functional Hardware from Häfele at KBIS 2024

  • Here’s to never having to take sides with the Riverso Two-Way Drawer Slide
  • One drawer box system versatile enough to master any space: Matrix by Häfele
  • The right hinges from Salice keep cabinet doors opening, closing and wowing

Archdale, North Carolina, USA, February 27, 2024 – Cabinetry without hinges, drawer slides and drawer box systems are merely static boxes or pieces of wood. The functional hardware being showcased as part of the Häfele America Co. Kitchen & Bath International Show (KBIS) display in booth #N3039 in Las Vegas, NV from February 27 - 29, 2024 brings motion, function and wow to every project in practically any space.

Kitchen. Pantry. Closet. Anywhere. Whether the application is residential, commercial or somewhere in-between, the versatility and flexibility of Häfele’s functional hardware solutions demonstrated during KBIS is up to the task. One of the newer and more unique innovations being featured during the show is the Riverso Two-Way Drawer Slide. This dynamic undermount drawer slide system allows users to have complete opening access of the same drawer from both sides of an island, peninsula, room divider or stand-alone table.

“Riverso is really an engineering marvel disguised as a functional hardware solution,” says Karen Armour category manager for Häfele. “Ideal for applications like kitchen and closet islands, retail counters and healthcare environments, Riverso simply makes one drawer available in two different places – in a sleek, smooth manner.”

Riverso also features integrated soft close and can even be paired with Tipmatic push-to-open hardware on one side, allowing the drawer to be opened without a handle.

Appearing in every vignette of Häfele’s KBIS 2024 display – kitchens, pantry, and closet – is the extremely versatile, universally stylish Matrix Drawer System by Häfele.

The Matrix Box S is a European-style, double-walled drawer system featuring full extension synchronized soft close runners. The top-of-the-line, German-manufactured Matrix Box P drawer box system features unrivaled design and flexibility in application – with the widest range of add-on accessories like side railing and height extension panels. This system also features a heavy-duty weight rating and can accommodate 110 lbs. or 154 lbs.

When it comes to cabinet hinges, our partners at Salice know how to get it right, every time. Featured in our kitchen display is the Silentia+ Soft Close Concealed Hinge. This dynamic piece of hardware always impresses – offering personalized close features you won’t find elsewhere. Each hinge has miniature, liquid-damped Smove pistons built into the cup, in addition to a soft close adjustment switch which allows easy adjustment to the rate of closure. In applications where narrow door profiles come into play, like the custom-built hutch in Häfele’s kitchen display, the Silentia Excenthree 3-Cam Concealed Hinge is a great choice. Featuring integrated soft close and a small, 11 mm cup depth, this face frame hinge offers perfect door alignment with three automatic cam adjustments.
