Blum Canada Ltd. launched the Legrabox system that allows for personalization of metal draw- ers and pull-outs. With slim .5-inch drawer sides, extra space gained inside the drawer can be used in all types of furniture. "The customizable design of Legrabox supports the latest living trends and opens up a wide range of design possibilities," says Lucy Traetto, marketing representative. "The load carrying capacity of Legrabox is 40 and 70 kilo- grams, which is easily accommodated thanks to the smooth-running action of the runner sys- tems." Fitted with the Blumotion S cabinet profile, Legrabox features low opening forces, a synchro- nised feather-light glide, and gives you the flexibility to implement three different motion technologies. Traetto adds that the high fronts of Legrabox are becoming a popular design element. "Our special front fixing bracket guarantees maximum stability when opening and closing drawers and pull-outs." Legrabox pure and Legrabox free offer a selection of matt colours and a premium look in anti-finger- print stainless steel. In addition to Legrabox pure with matt and metal finishes, the Legrabox free design version allows you to use glass or customized design elements to enhance the functionality and the design aesthetic of your furniture. Cavupro Ltd. has been supplying upscale cabi- netry for apartments and multifamily units for over 20 years, but their latest product – the Piano line – adds a new level of sophistication to their projects. "This is a product we've used for a while in higher end applications, but now with the escalating cost of real estate, many people are renting," explains Jason Coroy, president. "This allows developers to install a durable, maintenance-free option. Handleless cabinets are practical, easy to clean, and create a streamlined, cohesive interior scheme." Coroy says the thermal fused laminate finish of the cabinets with laser edgebanding creates a seam- less edge, and the doors are difficult to tell from real wood. "We have slab, flat styles as well as shaker pro- files, with a large variety of colour choices. The slab option has a textured finish that feels like wood. Most people cannot tell the difference between this and a true wood door." Coroy adds that Cavupro has approximately 150 different woodgrains and 50 to 60 slab colours, which allows developers to create an array of options for units. "The price point is moderate, which works with many types of developers, including new home spec teams. But we specialize in multifamily, so our production is formatted for that type of supply." LIGHTING Häfele Canada has brought a unique lighting design to the market with the Loox Wireless Adjustable Shelf Lighting System. The plug-and- play LED lighting solution features vertical bus bars, serving as power conduits to the lighting compo- nents. This enables the shelf to illuminate the inside of the cabinetry. "With a customizable LED lighting strip on one side, the Loox system allows users to select from a range of warm to cool colour temperatures," says Victor Hassan Ayoub, director of marketing. "The flexibility of adjusting illuminated shelves provides practical solutions for closets, kitchens, and store displays. Thanks to the Loox plug-and-play sys- tem, no complicated cabling is required, as the light source is seamlessly connected to the spring con- tact." The strip lights are available in four different lengths – 18-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, and 36-inch.
