The story

A canvas for one fox

The cabinet is formed in smoked satin walnut, with figured ash and madrona burl chosen for their natural movement. Across the doors the Kitsune marquetry unfolds, continuous and precise, with a quiet complexity that shifts with the light.

A sculpted bronze handle traces a subtle wave, and concealed bronze hinges keep the form uninterrupted. Inside, nothing is standard: shelves, a bar, a drop-down desk, fitted drawers, or pocket doors so it moves between display and concealment.

“A process measured not in hours, but in patience.”

Closed, then open

Fitted to the way you use it

Shelving comes as standard. The interior can instead be made as a bar, a drop-down desk or a fully fitted set of drawers, and pocket doors can slide away into the sides.

Questions

07472 697363

Before you buy

Viewing, ordering, finishes, delivery and care.

Can I see it before I buy?

Each cabinet is made to order and is not on display at the moment. We send samples of the veneers, metals and finishes first, so you can see and handle the materials in your own light before we begin. Choose Request a sample when you enquire.

How do I order?

Send an enquiry. We confirm the finish, dimensions and delivery with you, then send a pro forma invoice. Production begins once the pro forma is settled; staged payments can be arranged.

Can it be made in another size or finish?

Yes. The cabinet can be made in other veneers and metals, and at a different size. We send samples of every finish before we begin.

When will it arrive?

Your cabinet is made in 12 weeks once the finish is confirmed, or 16 weeks in a new finish after sampling. Shipping from the workshop in Oman then takes between two and nine weeks, depending on where it is going. The delivery estimate on this page works out the dates for you.

How is it delivered?

Every piece is crated for travel and arrives fully assembled. Standard delivery is to your door; white-glove delivery and installation, with the piece carried in, unpacked, levelled and installed, is available as a separately priced service. Delivery is quoted with your pro forma.

How do I look after it?

Dust with a soft microfibre cloth, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and never use harsh cleaners. Our care guide covers everything, and comes with every piece.

Do you offer trade terms?

Yes, for interior designers and architects. Tick the trade box when you enquire and we will send trade pricing.
