Berenson Cannelee Collection

The fluted signature of the Berenson Cannelee collection

The Berenson Cannelee collection is built around a single design idea: a row of vertical flutes running the length of each pull. That grooved surface catches light differently than a flat bar, giving a transitional kitchen a bit of texture without tipping into anything ornate. The line spans knobs, standard pulls, and appliance pulls in matching zinc construction, so a full kitchen can stay in one family from the smallest drawer to the refrigerator panel. Buyers replacing an existing transitional pull often start here specifically for the grooved texture, since few other transitional lines lean on it as the main design detail. Hardware built around a repeating pattern like this tends to photograph well from an angle, since the grooves throw a small shadow line that a flat surface can't.

Where the fluting reads best

Cannelee's vertical grooves sit comfortably in transitional spaces, kitchens with shaker doors that want a touch more detail than a plain bar pull offers. The pattern is subtle enough not to compete with paneled cabinetry or an active backsplash, and it holds up visually at both close range and across the room. Because the flutes run the same direction on every piece, mixing pull lengths across drawers and doors keeps the collection looking assembled rather than mismatched. It works less well against heavily textured surfaces like reclaimed wood, where the grooves can get lost.

Finish and size options to check before ordering

The collection comes in brushed nickel, matte black, and a modern brushed gold, so most existing finish schemes already have a reasonable match. Pull lengths run from 96mm and 128mm center-to-center up through 224mm, with appliance pulls sized separately at 12 inches for wide drawers and panel-front refrigerators. Confirm the center-to-center spacing against existing holes if this is a hardware swap rather than a new build; Cannelee's spacing doesn't automatically line up with every prior line, particularly older cup-pull installations.

Other Berenson lines worth a look

If the fluted texture feels like too much detail, Berenson's Tempo collection offers a plainer bar profile in the same finish range. For a more traditional take with visible ornamentation instead of a repeating groove, see the Hearthstone collection.
