Hafele Unveils Sleek Aluminium Profiles for Seamless Furniture Lighting

16 Apr 2025 CW Team

Hafele has introduced its latest range of Slim Aluminium Profiles for furniture lighting, designed to deliver focused, glare-free illumination while integrating seamlessly into modern décor. Ideal for showcases, wardrobes, bookshelves, bar units and study corners, these profiles are recessed within furniture panels, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

Engineered for versatility and minimalism, the profiles are available in two variants—symmetric and asymmetric. While symmetric profiles deliver uniform lighting suited for tasks like reading or as decorative elements on cabinet panels, the asymmetric ones offer directional lighting to highlight display items or accent areas.

Crafted from high-quality aluminium, the profiles ensure durability and efficient heat dissipation for long-lasting performance. They come in elegant black and silver finishes, and are accompanied by premium diffusers that soften light output and minimise shadows, ensuring smooth, ambient illumination.

Backed by a 10-year guarantee, Hafele’s Slim Aluminium Profiles offer a refined, long-term solution for integrated furniture lighting in compact and contemporary spaces.
