Expanded dimensions and versatility

The big handles by Viefe respond to different needs within interior design projects. The choice between one system and another will mainly depend on the type of door on which they are installed and the intended use.

Big handles feature a larger diameter and a more striking aesthetic than the rest of the brand’s handles, making them an ideal solution for comprehensive interior design projects. Their thickness and presence make them decorative pieces in their own right. Their sculptural design adds personality to any space and allows them to be adapted to multiple applications, from furniture and wardrobes to doors and integrated appliances.

The versatility of the big range is reflected in its three distinct systems: the "standard" version, the one side system and the back to back system. Although they share the same design language, they are solutions conceived for different uses and have specific references for each application.

What is a big handle? The best way to understand it is through an example. The Boto handle collection perfectly reflects this concept of versatility, as it offers three installation solutions based on the same design, each adapted to different needs: the "standard" version (ref. 0711), the one side system version (ref. 0717) and the back to back system version (ref. 0718).

Big handles for furniture and wardrobes

The "standard" big version is designed for furniture and wardrobes that require handles with a strong visual presence thanks to their larger diameter. Their design turns the handle into a key element within the overall composition, reinforcing the visual character of the project. They are fixed to furniture and wardrobe doors from the rear side. Although this does not present any inconvenience in many applications, projects that require a more refined solution on both sides of the door may benefit from alternatives such as the one side system.

Big handles for doors and appliances with the one side system

Big handles with the one side system (1SS) have been developed for large-format furniture and single-sided sliding doors. Unlike the "standard" big version, this system allows the handles to be installed on only one side of the door, the front side, while keeping the fixing completely concealed on the rear side. As a result, no screws or fixing elements are visible from the opposite side.

Big handles for sliding and passage doors with the back to back system

Big handles with the back to back system (BBS) are designed for passage doors, sliding doors, large wardrobe doors and other applications that require access from both sides of the door. Their symmetrical installation facilitates everyday use while providing excellent strength and secure fixing.

Before analysing each system, it is worth highlighting an important difference. While "standard" big models belong to the handle category and are designed to be fitted to furniture and wardrobes, the one side system (1SS) and the back to back system (BBS) are conceived as pull handles. For this reason, they incorporate specific fixing solutions designed to meet the requirements of passage doors, large fronts and other applications where installation and use differ from conventional furniture handles. This distinction is also reflected in our catalogue, where products are organised into the categories “Handles” and “Pull Handles”, making it easier to select the most suitable solution according to the type of project and application.

Handles that go beyond their function

Beyond the differences between systems, all big handles share the same essence: providing a strong visual presence and a sense of volume that sets them apart from conventional handles, making them elements capable of defining the aesthetics of doors, wardrobes and appliances. For this reason, big handles are an especially versatile solution for projects seeking aesthetic consistency across different applications, maintaining the same design language throughout the space.
