For us, excellent motion design means developing outstanding product solutions that inspire the best furniture designers in the world to come up with new, creative designs. This can only be achieved with technology that captivates the senses.
By dispensing with the superfluous, Vionaro V8 gains a breathtaking simplicity. Its clear, monolithic form will outlast time and trends. In this respect, Vionaro V8 has everything a design classic should offer. Not just due its slender design. But also because of it. Vionaro V8 is an immediate example of the charming lightness that can be created with amaterial like steel. And that same charming lightness turns your drawers into aesthetic design components. No more and no less.
If less is more, V8 offers a lot of it. The design principle "reduce to the max" has rarely been implemented as consistently as with Vionaro V8. Here no corner, no edge, no groove is too much. Quite the opposite: the Slim Drawer System demonstrates an impressive and strictly geometric design with no further scope for reduction. Its quiet, spacious surfaces are not interrupted or disturbed by anything. Vionaro V8 exudes a majestic calm. And its architectural clarity makes the 8-millimetre drawer sides look even slimmer and even more elegant.
VIONARO V8 ECHOES THE WORK OF AN EXPERIENCED ZEN MASTER. The minimalist design drawer sides seem to embody the pursuit of "nothingness". The new Slim Drawer System emphasises the aim of GRASS to create brand quality with masterly perfection in the sense of the Zen teachings that are thousands of years old.
The open-transparent elegance of the glass drawer derives from its patented transmission of forces that dispenses with obtrusive frames or brackets. This makes the V8 Crystal drawer the world's first and only glass drawer with design lines running consistently – from the furniture front to the back panel. The linear division of the area has a calming effect and creates space for maximum transparency.
Vionaro V8 is recognisable not only due to its unique slim design, but also because of the prominent positioning of the branding clip. For Vionaro V8, branding and its central positioning are an integral part of the drawer side design.
We have found that almost all products in the premium segment – whether they are handbags, suitcases, cars or watches – have their branding centrally positioned. The position in the centre of the products expresses the confidence of the brands and reflects the manufacturers' self-perception that high quality can be reliably expected only from brand products. Vionaro V8 also keeps this promise.
Do you need more storage space? Then Vionaro V8 is exactly the right drawer system for you. The less space occupied by hardware, the more that remains for storage. With the Slim Drawer System, you get just that: Thanks to the extremely slim design and the continuous rectangular shape, Vionaro V8 provides up to 16 percent more space in the base cabinet. The Slim Drawer System creates additional storage space of up to 9 millimetres in width, up to 7 millimetres in depth and up to 20 millimetres in height.
The inside dimensions of Vionaro V8 are absolutely unique. For example, the H200 box drawer in the 600 cabinet provides 48.1 x 53.6 x 17 cm of space. That equates to a storage volume of 43,800 cm³. Which means: you could store about 4200 STAEDTLER pencils in there.
Vionaro V8 is a revolutionary drawer system in many respects. In addition to its slim shape, it is above all the V8's technical properties that make the Slim Drawer System unique. For example, the V8 is the first purely metal drawer side with all components made of steel. But not only that: the V8 drawer sides, which are up to 250 millimetres in height, are also manufactured from a single piece of steel. This one-piece solid metal concept is essential in making the monolithic, clear design language possible, in delivering maximum robustness and durability and in guaranteeing a recycling rate of almost 100%.
Vionaro V8 is manufactured on one of the most modern production lines in the world. All components are connected to each other in a fully automated process by means of laser welding technology. This high-tech assembly guarantees high-precision connections that are mechanically extremely resilient and therefore particularly durable. Which means: each Vionaro V8 drawer side is a welded unit made of steel, the stability and torsional stiffness of which set new standards.
What makes the Vionaro V8 so special is the ability of the extremely slim and sleek V8 drawer to transform the enormous forces that arise when opening and closing high fronts into a smooth movement. Even fronts up to 780 mm in height present no issue at all for the system. All elements relevant to the stability of the drawer system – i.e. drawer side, back panel clip and front connection – are made of steel, which proves instrumental. This makes Vionaro V8 a lightweight contender, yet fully resilient.
The idea of making everything ever more compact, smaller and thinner, and consuming fewer and fewer resources is not new. This has been practised as long as we can remember. It is always a question of pushing the boundaries of what is feasible. And the Slim Drawer System is based on the same reasoning: how can we produce a highly effective and sustainable system using less space and less material? Boundaries may shift again at some point, but for the next decade at least, Vionaro V8 will come to define things.
Whether flat or transparent, the inner fronts perfectly matched to the Slim Drawer System in both shape and colour give each V8 drawer a distinctive character. The side walls, back panel and inset panels are exactly 8 mm thin and combine to produce a total harmonious work of art.
If you've ever opened a Vionaro V8 drawer, you'll come to judge all other drawer systems by it in future. The look is one you'll remember and guarantees maximum recognition. You'll see that: the Slim Drawer System lives up to its name and gives each piece of furniture a very unique touch. The discreet, understated V8 drawer side draws attention to the contents of your drawer, not the hardware.
Kitchen, living room and dining areas start to become less divided. Rooms merge into an ensemble of day and night zones. Mobile communication makes it possible to read emails on the couch, research recipes in the kitchen using an app and browse a digital newspaper at the dining table. Lines have become blurred. In the past, rooms meant separation by architecture; now we distinguish between living and recreation spaces. Modern furniture must allow harmonious integration into such zones. And our drawer systems must meet entirely new requirements.Vionaro V8 does this with ease.
The German Design Award is one of the most prestigious design awards in the world and has a high reputation far beyond professional circles. Prevailing against the top-class competitors for this award certainly proves one's standing as among the very best. When naming the Slim Drawer System "winner" in the "Excellent Product Design" category, the international design jury commented that "with Vionaro V8, the impossible has successfully been made possible".
The unique process benefits of Vionaro V8 are just as convincing as all other aspects. The drawer system can be packed particularly efficiently, used with unprocessed standard bottom panels, does not need an adapter for wooden back panels, and has just one retrofittable Tipmatic Soft-close unit for all weight classes and two front drilling patterns – all this reduces the number of variants, keeps the variety of parts low, simplifies warehouse management and minimises the risk of errors in the ordering and manufacturing process. In short, Vionaro V8 offers sustainable efficiency at all levels.
The slim elegance of Vionaro V8 is not only timeless, it also allows the Slim Drawer System to be packed particularly efficiently. In both cardboard packaging and reusable trays, up to 40% more sets can be stacked on one pallet compared to other drawer systems. This means that with the same quantity purchased, the Slim Drawer System offers significant savings in packaging and transport, saves time when loading and unloading, simplifies warehouse management and ensures more efficient processes.
On the Vionaro V8, the drawer bottom panel does not have to be cut in or machined in any way. With the V8, 16 mm standard panels can be used that are insertable after cutting without further processing. This minor detail makes production processes easier and more efficient in numerous ways. Not only does the Vionaro V8 require no additional procedure for rebating the bottom panel and no maintenance of a bottom panel rebating machine – the use of standard panels also offers significant time savings and simplifies warehouse management.
While the back panel clips of other drawer systems can only be used for steel back panels or require special adapters to use wooden back panels, the V8 back panel clip can do both. Without an adapter. The Vionaro V8 laser-welded back panel connection can be used equally for wood and steel back panels. For the industrial production process, this means: fewer components, reduced complexity, easier warehouse management and minimisation of the risk of errors. In addition, faster assembly saves time and money.
With Vionaro V8, the front can be mounted with the same front connection for all front heights – with drawer side heights of 200 mm and 250 mm, a front stabiliser is added. This enables a consistently uniform front drilling pattern from drawer side height 72 mm to 250 mm, which in turn significantly reduces complexity in the standardised production process. Because non-variable parts mean higher efficiency.
In addition to the many functional considerations, the Dynapro slide system offers, above all, a significant process advantage: Dynapro can be used for V8 steel drawers as well as for wooden drawers. This ensures maximum flexibility and doubles the possibilities – without affecting production standards.
Vionaro V8 is a revolutionary drawer system in many respects. In addition to its slim shape, it is above all its technical properties that make the Slim Drawer System unique. For example, V8 is the first purely metal drawer side with all components made of steel. But not only that: the V8 drawer sides, which are up to 250 millimetres in height, are also manufactured from a single piece of steel. This one-piece solid metal concept is essential in making the monolithic, clear design language possible, in delivering maximum robustness and durability, and in guaranteeing a recycling rate of almost 100%.
For product designers, sustainability primarily means recyclable construction. It is therefore primarily a question of whether and how well our movement systems can be separated into different material groups. In this respect, too, Vionaro V8 redefines the standard, because all visible and concealed structural parts are made of steel. And steel can always be recycled almost without loss. In that respect, this extraordinary material makes a special contribution to the sustainable use of resources. Steel is already the most recycled material today.
Integrating the entire cycle into a sustainability concept – from the production and supply of movement systems to their use and eventual disposal/recycling – is one of the strategic goals of GRASS. This also means supplying to this cycle only materials that are replaceable, biologically degradable or entirely recyclable in their natural life cycles. You can rely on this with GRASS.
For us, environmental protection means taking responsibility. Our goal has therefore been to develop a sustainable drawer system with Vionaro V8, which not only can be produced and coated in an environmentally friendly manner, but whose materials can also be recycled by material type. The concept of the world's first all-metal drawer side resulted from this. Consequently, we have completely dispensed with plastic elements, foams and adhesives in pursuit of robustness, sustainability and recyclability. We are convinced that climate protection begins with the small things. And you can also contribute with the V8 drawer.
Every pallet that is not transported contributes to climate protection. In this respect, the environmental impact of Vionaro V8 is already positive: up to four out of ten pallets can be saved.*
The transportation of materials and goods increasingly impacts the environment and climate. For this reason, it was particularly important for us to develop a sustainable packaging concept for Vionaro V8, which is able to significantly reduce logistics costs. The fact that up to 40% more sets can be shipped per pallet also makes Vionaro V8 an ecological trendsetter in this regard. Less logistics means fewer CO2 emissions, less packaging, more efficient processes and more environmental protection.
* Compared to other steel drawer systems.
Do you need more storage space? Then Vionaro V8 is exactly the right drawer system for you. The less space occupied by hardware, the more that remains for storage. With the Slim Drawer System, you get just that. Thanks to the extremely slim design and the continuous rectangular shape, Vionaro V8 provides up to 16 per cent more space in the base cabinet. The Slim Drawer System creates additional storage space of up to 9 millimetres in width, up to 7 millimetres in depth and up to 20 millimetres in height.
Colours and surfaces play a special role in the perception of our drawer systems. They have a significant influence on their effect, trigger emotions and associations that lead to unconscious reactions. This special significance of colours and surfaces must be upheld with each individual coating. Of this we are conscious.
In addition to the proven, high-quality standard surfaces, we also offer innovative effect surfaces for Vionaro V8, which pick up on current home trends. Warm colours, fine textures, matt shine – with GRASS special colours, design principles can be continued into the interior of the furniture while in particular also offering an unprecedented, tactile quality. Touching these surfaces is a sensation you won't forget.
From metallic shimmering platinum to warm cocoa – the unique high-tech surfaces make the world look a little more colourful and open up new options in furniture design. But not just that. The V8 colour range also sets new standards from an ecological point of view. By using environmentally friendly high-performance powders and energy-saving low-temperature technology, each individual drawer ensures greater sustainability.
It goes without saying that all GRASS surfaces also fulfil a protective function. They are robust, scratch-resistant and resistant to household chemicals.
V8 offers the world's first complete 8-millimetre drawer platform with 5 drawer side heights, 7 colours, one glass drawer, various inset panels and matching steel back panels. In addition, there are two slide systems, four comfort systems and, with TAVINEA, the perfect interior design to choose from.
Our goal was to develop an innovative drawer system that enables maximum customisation with maximum standardisation.
The trend towards ever-taller drawer fronts has led us to include two exceptionally tall box drawers in the V8 range: the 200 mm and 250 mm tall drawers are great examples of the weightless elegance that can be created with a metal drawer system. But that’s not all: their height measurement is a completely unique selling point – because the V8 drawers are up to 23 mm taller than other box systems. For example, Vionaro V8 not only offers additional storage space, but, most notably, aesthetically pleasing proportions with respect to the height of the furniture front.

Today we are seeing more and more high fronts with inset drawers hidden behind them. Tall cabinet solutions with drawers are also becoming more and more popular. Tall fronts and tall doors make modern furniture look even more puristic and monolithic. Every reveal that can be dispensed with makes the design appear more homogeneous. Great that Vionaro V8 offers the perfect solution for these applications: elegant and extremely slender inner fronts.
By combining V8 drawers with the V8 closed inner fronts, a kind of symbiotic unit of form and function is created. Four-sided metal boxes with a wall thickness of 8 millimetres are produced. Whether 89 mm or 200 mm – the drawer side and the inner front seem to be made for each other and become one as soon as they are connected.

Whether 89 mm or 200 mm – the drawer side and the inner front seem to be made for each other and become one as soon as they are connected.
In combination with the V8 glass drawer, the 200 mm high Crystal glass inner front reveals its very special appeal. The front panel, which is also only 8 millimetres thick, consistently extends the proportions of the glass extension to the front and sets new standards in terms of design and aesthetics. Its graceful, transparent design makes inset drawers appear light and open. The large glass surface not only offers perfect visibility of stored items – the discreet railing also prevents the glass surface from becoming dirty when touched.

Technically well-engineered movement systems are apparent by the amount of force needed to open a drawer. And in this respect too, the Dynapro slide system performs impressively: the drawer seems to open by itself. A small pull is enough to set V8 drawers in motion. Our suggestion: just give it a try.
Thanks to the mechanically synchronised Dynapro slide rails, V8 drawers move without intrusive noise or resistance. Dynapro makes the Slim Drawer System float almost silently. This elegant and smooth movement makes opening and closing V8 drawers a special experience. Even under high loads, the excellent running characteristics remain constant – that's what sets Dynapro apart.
Dynapro, the proven concealed slide makes the Vionaro V8 a force to be reckoned with – despite its slim build. Load capacities of up to 70 kg are no problem for the system. And that's the equivalent of four crates, each holding 12 glass bottles containing 0.75 litres of water.
We tend to hold on to furniture for about ten years, kitchens for about twenty. That's a long time. And you can expect a high-quality movement system to function perfectly from the first day to the last. That's what we mean by reliable performance: V8 drawers being opened and closed up to 25 times a day – without having to think about it. In the course of the life of a kitchen, that could be up to 150,000 movements. Great then that you can rely on GRASS products.
Open handle-free drawer fronts by lightly tapping them.
The name says it all: the mechanical opening system for handle-free applications is particularly suitable for opening large drawer fronts with a light tap. Slimming down and simple elegance characterise modern furniture. Consequently, furniture design is increasingly focused on large surfaces devoid of handles or grip recesses. Tipmatic offers the full package when it comes to perfect motion design for such furniture with visual and design emphasis. Reliable technology that creates new possibilities.
Open handle-free drawer fronts by lightly tapping them and gently close with damping.
Can two opposing physical forces be combined in one system? Yes, they can. Tipmatic Soft-close is the proof. Handle-free opening and soft closing with damping are ideally combined with this purely mechanical solution. The large activation zone ensures top operating comfort and the 3-stage adjustable opening force ensures elegant movement sequences – regardless of the size and weight of the V8 drawers. These special features have made Tipmatic Soft-close one of the world's most successful opening damping systems. Comfortable. Reliable. Retrofittable.
Open handle-free drawer fronts with electronic assistance by lightly tapping them.
Action. Reaction. Interaction. Comfort couldn't be more fascinating. With the Sensomatic touch-activated automatic system, a gentle tap is all that is needed to set regular and pot drawers in motion. Mechanical tapping or pulling is converted into an electrical signal, which starts the movement within a few fractions of a second. SMOOTH, PRECISE AND ELEGANT AT THE SAME TIME. Sensomatic in combination with Soft-close, the mechanical damping system, ensures operating comfort at the highest level. This is because the two systems combine all the advantages of handle-free opening with the elegance of a damped closing mechanism.
Our designers and engineers develop, test and optimise GRASS products over many years and go far beyond industry standards. The V8 Slim Drawer System has also undergone countless endurance and load tests, each with more than 100,000 cycles at maximum load. Successfully. And internationally recognised testing service provider TÜV Rheinland has confirmed compliance with all standards for the Vionaro V8 drawer system, with the LGA certificate. TÜV testers have certified the V8 drawer "tested for stability".

Under the Vionaro V8 drawer, the Dynapro slide system ensures perfect movement. The quality, stability and smoothness of the concealed slide, tried and tested millions of times over, are "state of the art" to this day. Dynapro is the embodiment of exceptionally easy opening, excellent running characteristics, minimum drawer deflection and outstanding reliability. Dynapro is furthermore one of the world's most successful concealed slide mechanisms for fully extending units. In short, V8 drawers and Dynapro slide mechanisms complement each other to create a unique mix of design, technology and performance.
While the back panel clips of other drawer systems can only be used for steel back panels or require special adapters to use wooden back panels, the V8 back panel clip can do both. Without an adapter. The Vionaro V8laser-welded back panel connection can be used equally for wood and steel back panels.
What makes the Vionaro V8 so special is the ability of the extremely slim and sleek V8 drawer to transform the enormous forces that arise when opening and closing high fronts into a smooth movement. Even fronts up to 780 mm in height present no issue at all for the system. All elements relevant to the stability of the drawer system – i.e. drawer side, back panel clip and front connection – are made of steel, which proves instrumental. This makes Vionaro V8 a lightweight contender, yet fully resilient.
Vionaro V8 is a "Made in Austria" brand product. All the components of the Slim Drawer System are developed and produced in Austria, as are those for the Dynapro slide system.
For more than seven decades, the heart and soul of GRASS have been firmly rooted in Vorarlberg, where it all began. This is where series production of the first drawer slides started, and where our drawer systems are still being produced today. Vionaro V8 is no exception.
Both the V8 Crystal drawer side and the V8 Crystal inner front can be fitted with standard slim glass panes or other slide-in elements measuring just 5 millimetres thick. The special design of the V8 makes it possible to clamp glass or slide-in elements between the U-profiles of the drawer side and the railing without the need for further processing. Sounds simple. And it is.
