A handle on design

After the basics of a kitchen have been taken care of, you will often find it is the details that prompt compliments. Cabinet handles can add subtle finishing touches to a design, or even become the most prominent feature.

Elite Hardware imports contemporary kitchen and furniture handles, knobs and architectural hardware from around the world to supply kitchen manufacturers, joiners, designers and architects all over New Zealand. A courier service is also available, says director Mark Gardner.

"We use a simple coding system for all our handles, to streamline the ordering process. Enquiries are taken care of promptly by our knowledgeable staff and as we have ample stock, all product lines are usually available immediately."

Elite's range of handles is always expanding, as the company keeps up to date with design movements overseas. Handles can be supplied in a wide variety of finishes, including the two shown here. Pictured above left is the Flat Cross bar handle in a brushed nickel finish, and above right, the Square Block handle in matt chrome, as seen in a Kitchen Studio showroom.
