When it comes to the art of the "at-home bar", Husky is the undisputed specialist. From their sleek wine cellars to their robust, alfresco-ready beverage centres, Husky units are built for people who love to host. They bring a commercial-grade chill to the domestic world, ensuring that whether it’s a vintage red or a local craft beer, it’s kept at the perfect temperature.
At Manovella, we believe that an appliance built for entertaining should be as tactile as it is functional.
Strength Where it Matters: The Alfresco Challenge
Operating an outdoor fridge in the Australian climate is a tough job. To maintain their efficiency, Husky units use high-tension magnetic seals that work hard to keep the heat out. Breaking that seal dozens of times during a weekend BBQ requires a handle with real structural integrity.
Our background as Melbourne locksmiths has given us a unique perspective on "mechanical fatigue". We’ve seen how standard, lightweight cabinet handles can become "wobbly" or even detach after a few seasons of heavy use. Our Charmian and Imogen appliance pulls are forged from solid brass, offering a rigid, dependable grip that feels substantial in the hand. When you reach for a cold drink, you feel the quality of the brass, not the flex of the metal.
Curating the Entertainer’s Look
Husky appliances are often the focal point of a bar or outdoor kitchen, defined by stainless steel and glass. Our curated finishes are designed to complement this industrial-chic aesthetic:
- The Sophisticated Cellar: For Husky’s black-framed wine cabinets, our Matt Black or Gunmetal hardware creates a seamless, modern look that lets the wine collection take centre stage.
- The Professional Alfresco: If you have a Husky under-counter fridge in a stainless steel outdoor kitchen, our Brushed Nickel pulls are a perfect match. They are resistant to the elements and provide a clean, high-end finish that is easy to maintain.
- The Bespoke Bar: To add a touch of warmth to a dark timber home bar, our Aged Brass or Brushed Brass hardware provides a stunning contrast, turning a functional fridge into a high-end design feature.
Engineering for Longevity
Manovella was built on a simple, personal rule: if we wouldn’t be proud to install it in our own homes, we won't stock it in our warehouse, and for an outdoor or bar environment, that means hardware that can withstand the elements.
Because our pull handles are solid brass, they offer natural corrosion resistance - a vital feature for alfresco areas. We back our range with a 10-year mechanical warranty, so you can be sure that your hardware will perform just as well as your Husky unit for years to come.
Refined Simplicity
A Husky fridge is the heart of a social space. Don’t let the final detail be an afterthought. By choosing solid brass Husky appliance pulls from experts who know how to build for durability, you ensure that every interaction with your kitchen or bar feels like a premium experience.
With our 90-day return policy, you can see our finishes in your own space and feel the weight of our brass handles for yourself. It’s the simplest way to ensure your entertainment area is as reliable as it is stylish.
