Introducing Our Newest Design Families from the Reimagined Style Guide
KBB Birmingham 2026
KBB 2026 provided the perfect stage to unveil several new hardware families from the latest edition of our Style Guide, each exploring form, texture and proportion in distinctive ways. The event also marked the launch of our reimagined Style Guide catalogue, refreshed with a new visual identity and designed to make exploring our collections more intuitive. The guide brings together our ranges across five distinct design categories — Designer, Heritage, Contemporary, Shaker and Transitional — helping specifiers and designers easily identify hardware that complements their interior style.
Alongside these curated categories, the guide also introduces mix-and-match inspiration, encouraging designers to explore how different families and finishes can work together to create cohesive and characterful spaces.
Among the highlights we debuted at KBB were four new families: Torbay, Chester, Avon and Fenchurch.
Chester – Reeded Elegance for Classic and Contemporary Interiors
Chester takes the timeless appeal of reeded detailing and refines it into an elegant cup handle design.
Its form is both exceptional and simple, allowing the reeded element to take centre stage while remaining balanced and understated. The result is a handle that integrates seamlessly into both modern and classical interiors, making it a particularly strong choice for bedroom furniture, cabinetry and traditional kitchen designs.
Chester demonstrates how thoughtful detailing can elevate a familiar silhouette into something truly sophisticated.
Avon – Soft Geometry with a Tactile Edge
Reflecting the growing design trend for soft geometry, Avon features hexagonal facets that form the leg structure, paired with a rounded central body designed for comfortable, tactile handling.
The result is a cabinet handle that balances visual interest with everyday usability, demonstrating that comfort and exceptional design can go hand in hand. Avon is particularly well suited to contemporary kitchens and modern furniture projects.
Fenchurch – Contemporary Design & Architectural Presence
Fenchurch represents chic, contemporary design at its finest. Provoking the air of luxury that Crofts & Assinder is renowned for, the handle exudes a character of its own.
Utilising alternating facets, the design creates a striking visual effect. When viewed from different angles, the surface pattern interacts with light to produce a mesmerising effect, making Fenchurch an ideal choice for designers seeking contemporary cabinet hardware.
Torbay – A Delicate Interpretation of Texture
With a corrugated effect on the ends, Torbay plays into the current reeding and fluting trends seen across contemporary kitchen and furniture design, but with a more delicate touch.
Stunning in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens alike, this elegant handle range introduces texture while maintaining a sense of understated luxury. Torbay is ideal for designers looking to incorporate subtle detailing without overwhelming the overall scheme.
Designed to Complement Modern Interiors
Each of the new families — Torbay, Chester, Avon and Fenchurch — is available in four of our most versatile finishes:

These finishes allow the collections to integrate effortlessly into a wide variety of interior schemes, from warm contemporary kitchens to classic cabinetry and boutique-style bedroom furniture.
