The story

A jewel with undeniable presence

The cabinet stands like the Japanese heirloom pieces that once signalled power and status, drawing on the beauty of Japanese architecture and the long symbolism of the tiger. High-gloss lacquer adds depth to the opal-dyed sycamore, and brushed nickel catches the light, shifting with the mood of the room.

Open the doors and the colour changes: solid walnut and red lacquer, as rich as the wine stored within. It is designed not only to store but to show, turning an evening drink into an occasion.

“This is the diamond in the room, to which all eyes are drawn.”

Drawers that hold the bottle at an angle

Below the worktop, two drawers sit at an angle within the marquetry. Pull the lower drawer and it opens in red lacquer, presenting each bottle label-up with the cork kept moist.

Pencil sketches of the Shokunin bar cabinet

From sketch to cabinet

Drawn by hand in Windermere

The Shokunin silhouette began as pencil studies drawn from Japanese architecture: the lifted top, the suspended body, the crossed stretchers. Every cabinet is still drawn, sampled and modelled in 3D in our studio before it is made.

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 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.
