Hendel & Hendel returns to KBIS with new collections and bronze finish preview

Hendel & Hendel will return to KBIS 2026 (17th - 19th February, Orlando, Florida), where the British hardware brand will once again present its cabinetry hardware collections to the North American kitchen and bath trade, using the show as a key platform to showcase new product development and evolving design direction.

Following its appearance at last year’s event, the brand is using KBIS 2026 to build on established relationships with US designers, architects and manufacturers, while introducing the next phase of its collection strategy.

At the centre of the stand is the official launch of 2 new hardware collections, Harleston and Scroll, each expressing a different design language while sharing the same emphasis on solid brass construction and tactile presence. Scroll is defined by a fluid, sculptural silhouette, taking its cue from the unfurling motion of a rolled material, with a soft curvature and tapered form designed to read as a considered design detail, particularly in joinery schemes where restraint allows hardware to carry character through touch and profile.

Harleston takes a more grounded approach, crafted from solid brass with a subtle taper that gives the pieces weight in the hand and definition on the door, designed to sit comfortably within classic in-frame cabinetry as well as contemporary shaker settings where hardware plays a more pronounced visual role.

Alongside the new collections, Hendel & Hendel will preview a new bronze finish, expanding the brand’s finish offering with a warmer, darker tone intended to sit between brass and black, giving designers an option that feels softer and more layered than high-contrast or flat finishes. The bronze finish reflects the brand’s continued investment in finish development, responding to growing demand for cabinetry hardware that brings warmth and nuance to kitchens and bathrooms.

Gareth Hull, head of marketing & product development at Hendel & Hendel, said: “KBIS is an important show to Hendel & Hendel as the US is a market where cabinet hardware is specified at pace and at scale, and where designers and makers want to understand exactly what they are putting into a project, from how a piece feels in the hand to how a finish reads under different lighting. 

“Being here means we can put the product in front of the people who use it and specify it every day and have the sort of detailed conversations that you cannot replicate through imagery alone. Harleston and Scroll are being officially launched at the show, and they demonstrate 2 different approaches to form and proportion, while the bronze finish preview shows the direction we are taking with finishes, offering a warmer, deeper option that sits confidently within current cabinetry schemes without feeling harsh or flat.”

Visitors to the stand will also be able to explore a wider selection of Hendel & Hendel hardware and accessories from across the range, providing context for how the new collections and finishes integrate within the brand’s broader portfolio.

Throughout the show, Hendel & Hendel will host complimentary drinks on the stand, offering a relaxed setting for trade visitors to handle the products, view finishes in natural show lighting and discuss specification opportunities across residential and commercial projects.
