The character
M: its place in the collection
Our M size is the heart of the collection. It’s the size our handles are drawn for first, the one where the pattern’s proportions, the material’s thickness, and the feel in your hand find their most natural balance. If you’re unsure, if you’re changing several handles at once, if you’re refreshing furniture with no particular constraints, this is where to look first.

Where to use it
Uses for the M format
As a knob
In button size, the M is confident, present, without excess. It asserts itself just enough to give a front character without overwhelming it. It is the format suited to buffet doors, standard dresser drawers, low cabinet fronts, and bedroom or closet doors. At this scale, the pattern reaches its full legibility: a lion is recognized at a glance, scrollwork unfurls its curve, an ornament breathes. This is also the size at which patinated finishes best reveal their depth, because the surface offers enough material for the patina to shade, hollow, and catch the light.
In pull knobs
In cabinet handles with a fixed center-to-center, the M is available by default in 128 mm, the most widely used spacing on contemporary European furniture. For newer kitchens, bathroom cabinetry, new dressers, and office storage, this is almost always the dimension that fits. On request, the M is also available in a 96 mm center-to-center to suit older furniture or narrower fronts, without losing the model’s signature proportions.
Pose & fixation
How to install it
The knob (M) attaches with a single center-point fixing. The pull (M) requires two drilled holes: 128 mm center-to-center for the standard version, 96 mm for the custom version. Before ordering, check the distance between your existing holes if you’re replacing current handles, it’s the most critical measurement.
By touch
The hand and the gesture
Tactile and balanced, generous enough to offer a full grip without feeling bulky, the M works as well for everyday use (kitchen, closet) as for statement furniture where every opening becomes a slow gesture.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about M-size handles
Product and Material
Sizes and Patterns
Are All Finishes and Patterns Available in Size M?
Nearly all finishes, yes. As for patterns, the more detailed ones (lions, fine scrollwork) gain clarity at size M and above: on a very small size, an intricate design reads less clearly. The exact combinations of size, pattern, and material appear at the moment of choice, on the product page. When in doubt about a sculptural pattern, go with M or a larger size.
Center-to-center spacing and drilling
Can I Order a Size with a Non-standard Center-to-center?
Yes. Most of our two-point sizes can be ordered with custom drilling, around the standard values of 96, 128, and 160 mm depending on the size. Just note the center-to-center you need in the order comments. The handle's overall length stays the same, only the screw positions shift to line up with your existing holes. It's the solution for replacing an old handle without redrilling your front.

Choosing your size
What Size Handle for a Kitchen or a Walk-in Closet?
In the kitchen, size M (128 mm center-to-center) is the safe choice for recent door and drawer fronts; for large pot and pan drawers, move up to L (160 mm) or XL (192 mm). In a closet, XL matches the verticality of full-height doors, while M or S stay discreet on interior drawers. The general rule: match the handle's presence to the scale of the piece. When in doubt, a medium size works almost everywhere.
Does Size M Fit My Furniture?
Each size has its favorite pieces, detailed in the Uses section at the top of this page. The simple rule: match the handle's presence to the piece of furniture, a small drawer calls for a small size, a large front can take a longer one without looking overwhelmed. Size M fits within that logic of proportion. If you're replacing a two-point pull, the main thing to check is that its center-to-center matches your existing holes.
Find your handles in size M
If you’re looking for a standard cabinet handle, a 128 mm pull, a kitchen handle, or a well-balanced knob for a buffet, the M is our default choice. It’s ours, too.
