Cabinet Handle Classica Arabesque Roaring Lion
The roaring lion set within the Classica Arabesque cartouche: the feline finally finds its shield, a medallion ringed by acanthus volutes, exactly like the coats of arms Italian engravers set into their baroque frames. Where the Square confines it to rigor and the Round leaves it the bareness of a silhouette, the Arabesque gives it its full heraldic charge.

About this handle
The character of the design
Collection Classica Europa
From Florence to Vienna, from the Baroque to the Enlightenment: five centuries of European ornament distilled into a single collection. Scrollwork, mythological figures, generous curves and confident symmetries: the vocabulary of Europe’s grand houses, reinterpreted for furniture today. For interiors that aren’t afraid of character.
Classica Arabesque
An acanthus-volute cartouche wraps the curve of the Classica Round: two symmetrical scrolls unfurl in an S on either side of a central medallion, ready to hold a finial, a heraldic emblem, or stay bare. A silhouette conceived as a jewel case, equally at ease mounted vertically or horizontally: the baroque framing of grand Parisian townhouse pediments brought down to the scale of a cabinet handle, on two mounting points.
Roaring Lion
The lion roaring has long guarded thresholds: door knockers, fountain masks, heraldic figures, always where the eye lands first. On a piece of furniture, it takes up that same role with the same candor: open jaw, fixed gaze, living mane. The level of sculpted detail pushes the piece toward small sculpture, and the handle becomes a statement.
The material
How We Make Our Bioresin Handles
Each piece is printed in PLA Silk+, a bioresin filament made from renewable plant based resources. Worked at high resolution on our precision printers, this material captures every sculpted detail with remarkable finesse. Its pearlescent surface catches the light differently from every angle, for an object that feels light, delicate, and assured all at once.
What it works on
In harmony with your door or drawer front
Light Emerald, the green that stands out with elegance
It looks especially beautiful against pure white or light natural wood, where it reads as a precious accent. Tone on tone against a sage or eucalyptus green front, it creates a very refined botanical harmony. On black or anthracite, it takes on an almost jewel-like quality.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about the handle Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion
Custom
Do You Offer Custom, Made-to-order Pieces?
Yes. Our handles are made to order in our Paris atelier, which gives us real latitude to go beyond the catalog. We range from custom color to raised initials or a logo, from an exclusive pattern to a numbered series. Custom work remains a separate service, on top of the catalog, priced according to your project. Every request gets its own dedicated quote, which we put together as quickly as possible after your message.
Can I Have My Initials or a Logo Added?
Yes. Initials, a monogram, or a logo are designed into the handle's pattern and then added in relief: they're sculpted onto the master, captured in the mold, and cast with the piece. Nothing is engraved afterward, the relief is one with the handle. The modeling work and mold making are priced in the quote.

IKEA, Plum, and Superfront compatibility
What if My IKEA Front Is Already Drilled?
For a knob, the existing hole almost always works, it fits the M4 screw. For a pull, check that the gap between the holes matches an available center-to-center. If in doubt, measure center to center and send us the measurement, we'll confirm the right piece for you.
And with Plum, Superfront, Reform, or A.S. Helsingö Fronts?
Yes, in the same way. These brands design their fronts to IKEA Metod's dimensions and drilling: Plum, Superfront, Reform, A.S. Helsingö, Holte, and the other workshops making fronts for IKEA cabinets. Installation is identical, free-choice drilling and M4 screws.
What Entrance-to-entrance Spacing Works for Mounting Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion on an IKEA Kitchen?
Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion attaches at two points, center-to-center 192mm, 128mm, 160mm. Measure the distance from axis to axis between your two existing holes: if it matches, the handle replaces the old one in just a few minutes. On a blank front, you choose the placement and drill to that measurement. The most common center-to-center measurements for IKEA kitchens are 96 and 128 mm for drawers, 160 mm for larger cabinets.
Is Holdon_faq_product_name Compatible with IKEA Furniture?
Yes. IKEA Metod, Pax, and Besta fronts are factory drilled for hinges and drawers, but never for handles: you choose the placement, drill, then fasten with an M4 screw, exactly like an original IKEA handle. Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion follows this standard, like all our pieces.
Compatibility
Does the Color Green Work with IKEA Metod Fronts?
Yes. Our Green resin handles pair beautifully with fronts from IKEA's Metod line, styles like Bodbyn, Kallarp, Voxtorp, or Ringhult. These aren't shades strictly matched to the IKEA color chart, but a harmony of tone: depending on the front, the Green either echoes it or answers it with a deliberate contrast. An easy way to personalize a Metod cabinet without repainting a thing.

Installation
Are the Screws Provided with Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion?
Yes, always. You receive stainless steel M4 screws in several lengths to cover standard front thicknesses, along with installation instructions. They hold up well to the humidity of a kitchen or bathroom. For a nonstandard front, just ask and we will send you the right length.
What Thickness of Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion Door or Drawer Front Can It Go Through?
The included screws cover standard fronts, roughly 16 to 25 mm thick, which covers nearly every cabinet on the market and most IKEA fronts. For a thicker front, a solid door, or a doubled-up front, all you need is longer screws: just ask and we'll send them. For a very thin front, choose the shortest screw in the bag so it doesn't poke through on the inside.
What Tooling Do I Need?
A drill or driver with a bit suited to your door or drawer front, and a Phillips screwdriver. No specialized tools required. On a thin front, a hand screwdriver is often enough, without even reaching for the drill if the hole already exists.
How to Respect the 192mm, 128mm, 160mm Center-to-center Distance When Drilling for Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion?
Center-to-center is the distance from axis to axis between the two screws. For Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion, it's 192mm, 128mm, 160mm. Transfer this measurement onto the front with a fine pencil, check the alignment with a level, then mark each point with an awl before drilling, which keeps the drill bit from wandering. On an IKEA kitchen, the most common center-to-centers are 96 and 128 mm for drawers, 160 and 192 mm for larger cabinets.
How Should I Pose Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion?
Installation is the same as any cabinet handle: drill the front, secure with the included screws, hand tighten, then finish with a final turn of the screwdriver. It takes just a few minutes per piece. Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion fits existing furniture as easily as IKEA fronts, and the installation guide is included in the package.
Installing your cabinet handles, step by step
Fabrication and Ecology
How Do You Make Your Bioresin Handles?
Bioresin is a plant based PLA, with no metal. Here, there's no mold or casting: the piece is 3D printed directly, then hand finished. We sand it, protect the surface, and visually inspect it before packaging. It's the only one of our materials that stays pure print from start to finish.
Are the Handles Made in France, Cold-cast in a Paris Atelier from a Silicone Mold, with the Patina Applied by Hand, Not That They Are "Made in France."
Yes. 3D printing the master, molding, casting, sanding, and patina: it all happens in our Paris workshop. Our metal powders and resins come from European suppliers, and both assembly and finishing stay French. Every piece is checked by eye in our workshop before it ships.
Do Your Handles Contain Lead or Other Heavy Metals?
No. Our metal handles are cast from bronze, copper, brass, or pure aluminum powders, with no added lead, no cadmium, and no mercury. The materials used comply with European RoHS directives restricting hazardous substances. You can install them in a kitchen, a child's room, or a bathroom with no risk of toxic migration.

Maintenance
Can Dishwashers or Steam-exposed Cabinets Be Paired with Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion?
Yes for metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum), which handle household steam very well. Bioresin, more sensitive to prolonged moisture, should be avoided in these situations. On a built-in dishwasher, choose a metal material and wipe the piece down after high-temperature cycles. That is the only thing to remember for a front exposed to steam.
How to Care for Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion Every Day
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough in most cases. For a kitchen handle exposed to greasy buildup, add a drop of mild soap, liquid Marseille soap or diluted dish soap. Then wipe with a dry cloth to avoid streaks. That's all it takes day to day: no specialty product, no complicated routine.
How to Care for Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion in Bioresin
Bioresin, our metal free material, cleans with a damp cloth only, with a touch of mild soap if needed. Avoid alcohol, solvents, and concentrated vinegar, which can damage the matte finish. Also don't expose it to strong, prolonged steam, like above a shower or in a very greasy kitchen. Well cared for, it keeps its soft touch and true colors with no special maintenance.
Does My Handle Care Depend on the Material?
Yes, on one key point. Metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum) tolerate mild cleaners, a bit of diluted vinegar, and even household steam. Bioresin, on the other hand, should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, no alcohol, no solvent, no concentrated vinegar. Day to day care stays simple either way, it's mainly the list of products to avoid that differs. Each product page specifies the exact care for its material.

Product and Material
Are Screws and Instructions Included with Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion?
Yes, always: stainless steel screws sized for standard 18 to 19 mm fronts, in several lengths, plus an installation guide. For a thicker or thinner front, we send the right screws free of charge, just ask.
Does Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion Work in a Kitchen or Bathroom?
For metal finishes (bronze, copper, brass, aluminum), yes to both: they hold up very well against household moisture and splashes. Bioresin, on the other hand, is best kept to dry rooms. The one real contraindication, for every material, is outdoor use exposed to the elements.
Is the Classica Arabesque, Roaring Lion Made of Bioresin Sturdy?
It's above all a decorative handle. Bioresin is more delicate than our metals: it doesn't hold up well to impact or heavy strain, and we don't recommend it for kitchens or bathrooms. Keep it for dry rooms and gentle use, a bedroom, a closet, a living room, an occasional piece, where it shows to full effect. For a grip used daily, go with a metal finish.
Bioresin Cabinet Handle, What Is It Exactly?
Bioresin: a plant-based material, free of metal, 3D printed then finished by hand. Colored throughout and surface-protected, it delivers bold colors and a soft touch, perfect for a bedroom, closet, or living room. We reserve it for dry spaces: it's not made for a kitchen or a very humid bathroom.
