Choosing a handleless kitchen
In handleless kitchens, door opening is made possible by Gola profiles.
In handleless kitchen cabinets, access to internal storage units is made possible through so-called recessed grip profiles (“gola” profiles — either rounded or flat) or through special systems such as push-to-open mechanisms (featuring a piston that is pressed, positioned behind the door panel, or integrated into drawers and pull-out baskets).
Different systems, yet always practical, ensuring a clean and seamless overall look.
Below, we take a closer look at the Curved Gola profiles, designed for our handleless kitchens.
Examples of kitchens with curved Gola profile:
Kitchen with Gola profile = aesthetic simplicity
A handleless kitchen ensures easier cleaning across the entire surface.
Handleless kitchen cabinets enhance the material quality of surfaces, both in terms of finishes and color tones. Gola profiles support this desire for aesthetic simplicity, especially when chosen in a lacquered finish that matches the cabinet doors.
Handle profiles that protect the cabinet doors
To protect cabinet doors from hand contact and everyday wear, special edge profiles can be added to the door fronts — either more or less visible, depending on the desired aesthetic.
The option of models without a Gola profile but with handle profiles is available for doors in melamine/laminate finishes; the reference model is Emporio. The same profiles can also be selected to protect lacquered, wood veneer, or Fenix NTM doors, or to enhance glossy or matte PET doors in the Area22 model.
These profiles can also be lacquered to match the Gola profile, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the kitchen doors for a perfectly coordinated look.

The profile that creates the Gola effect
A handleless kitchen is therefore a valid alternative for anyone who wants to enhance their living spaces, adding a touch of style and modernity.
However, having a Gola profile is not mandatory. Hybrid solutions combine doors with handle profiles that recreate the Gola effect by incorporating special edge profiles along the door fronts. The brand-new Job handle profile is designed to emphasize the horizontal line of the profile and extend it to tall units as well. It can be chosen to customize melamine or laminate doors in the Emporio Job model, or wood veneer and lacquered finishes in the Area 22 Job model.
The advantage of these profiles is that they can recreate the horizontal curved Gola effect even on tall units, creating a sense of continuity between base units and columns.
