The Viefe brand offers long handles, edge profiles, and recessed models, as well as knobs, wall hangers, and small fittings such as concealing profiles. The range of lengths here is unusual: from a knob a few centimeters long to a three-meter-long drawn profile, which encloses the entire wall with a single line. Carcases are available in aluminum, wood, zinc, or leather. Colors include silver, black, white, brown, and gold. First, decide whether the front should be gripped from the front or the edge, as this narrows the selection more than color.

Viefe Handles: Long, Edge, Knobs, and Hangers
The way a piece of furniture opens is more important than the appearance of the front in the photo. You can wrap your entire hand around the long handle, so you can pull a heavy drawer full of pots or a tall cabinet without jerking. The edge profile sits on the edge of the board, and you slide your fingers under it from underneath or to the side; then, no element protrudes in front of the front face. The inset model must be set in a slot cut in the board, so it's out of the question in a finished kitchen unless someone has access to a milling machine. However, in a new build, it provides the smoothest door of all shapes. A knob provides a single point of contact and is a natural choice for a narrow door or post, while a wall hanger hangs next to the furniture, not on it. When you are looking for a specific shape without considering the manufacturer, the store has separate sections for this purpose: edge handles, oblong handles and recessed handles. Here, everything is held together by a single manufacturer, and the shape is the second step.
Hole spacing when replacing a Viefe handle
The spacing is the distance measured from the center of one hole to the center of the next; the handle ends have nothing to do with it. When replacing, place the measuring tape against the holes in the board after removing the old fitting, because then you don't have to guess anything. In kitchen furniture, the same values keep coming back: 96, 128, 160, and 320 mm, less often 64 or 192 mm. A different spacing than in the old front means new drilling and a trace of the previous fitting to mask, so you decide on the size before you decide on the pattern. Single-point models, i.e. knobs and small handles with a single screw, have no spacing at all and fit wherever there is a single hole in the panel. In the longest Viefe profiles, there are three or four mounting points, and they rarely divide the profile evenly, so the name alone doesn't mean anything: you can check the screw locations in the drawing included with the model.
How to choose the Viefe handle length for the front width
The front width will determine the handle length faster than browsing through patterns. A short handle set in the middle of a half-meter drawer acts as a lever: when pulled, the drawer corner sits diagonally in the guide and begins to grind. On a wide front, reach for a handle that covers at least half its width, or for two shorter handles positioned symmetrically. On narrow doors, the relationship is reversed, as the profile running from edge to edge weighs down the small front, making the entire unit feel heavy. The scale, which Viefe opens above a meter, serves a different purpose than a single piece of furniture: such a profile extends across several adjacent doors or a ceiling-high wardrobe, closing them with a single line instead of several separate fittings. This makes sense with a lightweight front and aluminum body, as a cast of this length would be too heavy. Knobs are described by diameter, and they range from a dozen to sixty millimeters: a smaller one is sufficient for doors, a larger one better maintains the proportions of a wide chest of drawers.
Scandinavian furniture handles made of aluminum, wood, and leather
Aluminum is responsible for the scale here: the drawn profile remains lightweight even when measuring three meters, a feature no cast can replicate. Next come woods in walnut, oak, and ash, a zinc alloy known as zamak, as well as steel and genuine leather. Zamak takes on more sculptural shapes than a drawn profile, so it's primarily used for knobs and small handles. The palette includes silver, black, white, and then brown, gray, gold, copper, and antique gold. Finishes can be brushed, polished, powder-coated, or lacquered: a brushed surface scatters reflections, eliminating fingerprints; a polished surface shines brighter and requires more frequent wiping. Scandinavian and modern designs set the tone, while individual retro, loft, and classic shapes appear in between. Clean metal with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap, as powders and scouring pads can strip the lacquer from the profile. Wipe wooden elements with a slightly damp cloth and dry them immediately; do not soak leather at all. If you're interested in the style itself, without being tied to a manufacturer, the store has a section Scandinavian furniture handles.
Viefe handles for the kitchen, wardrobe, and bathroom
For hobs and sinks, a handle with a smooth cross-section, without milling, is the best choice, as grease settles in every groove and has to be scraped out. Bathroom moisture doesn't harm aluminum or zamak; ordinary steel doesn't handle it well, developing rusty spots over time. In a ceiling-high wardrobe, the edge profile runs along the entire door leaf, so you can grab it at any height without aiming for a single point with a ladder. Living rooms and bedrooms tolerate wood and leather better because they add warmth to the varnished board. In a child's room, a knob or short handle with rounded ends, without sharp edges at face height, is more sensible. Match the shade to what's already hanging in the room: faucets, light fixtures, and door handles. Two close, yet unequal shades of the same metal catch the eye from across the room.
Frequently asked questions about Viefe handles
◆ What is the Viefe brand?
Viefe is a manufacturer of furniture fittings and accessories. In this section, you'll find its long, edge, and recessed handles, knobs, wall hangers, and small accessories such as cover profiles and door stops. Forms, materials, and finishes are returning to this manufacturer in entire series, making it easier to match a cohesive set to a single installation.
◆ Can you buy Viefe handles in Poland?
Yes, we offer this brand in a Polish online store, with descriptions, dimensions, and service in Polish. In one section, you'll find the brand's entire range, from knobs to three-meter-long edge profiles. You can check the dimensions of a specific model in its description before making your decision.
◆ How to measure the spacing of a Viefe handle before replacing it?
Place the measuring tape at the centers of the two holes in the cooktop, not at the ends of the fitting. It's easiest to do this after removing the old handle, when the holes are exposed. Compare the result with the values most frequently used in kitchens: 96, 128, 160, and 320 mm. If you miss any of them, you'll need to drill new holes or choose a single-screw model that doesn't have a spacing.
◆ What's the difference between an edge handle and a recessed handle?
An edge handle sits on the edge of the board and you grab it from the bottom or side, without disturbing the front. A recessed handle must be set into a slot cut in the door, which leaves the face completely flat, but you can't modify the finished cabinet without a milling machine. In new furniture, you have both options; in an existing kitchen, a rimless pull is easier.
◆ How long a handle will fit on a drawer?
The wider the front, the longer the handle should be, because when the drawer is pulled around a corner, it runs straight. For a front less than forty centimeters wide, a short pull or knob is usually sufficient. Above half a meter, choose a profile that covers at least half the width, or two shorter, symmetrically arranged profiles.
◆ Which Viefe handles suit Scandinavian-style fronts?
A wooden handle in walnut or oak, or a narrow profile in silver or white, works best with light-colored fronts in this style. High gloss and richly carved casts spoil the serene look of the cabinetry, so stick to simple shapes. Genuine leather works well on a smooth board when you want a soft accent without the metal.
