The story

Bamboo, revealed

A companion to the Shokunin chest of drawers, the bedroom chest shares its silhouette and architectural language in a more compact form, and puts the material first. In its natural finish, the layered bamboo shows through the frame, the legs and the sculpted top.

A gently curved understructure lifts the body, and hand-selected bone and brass handles bring a jewellery-like quality without taking attention from the bamboo. Figured veneers add moments of contrast.

“Calm, timeless and quietly distinctive.”

Before you buy

Viewing, ordering, finishes, delivery and care.

What size is it?

We are finalising the dimensions of the bedroom chest. Tell us about your room and we will confirm them, or make it to your measurements.

Can I see it before I buy?

Each chest 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 chest 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 chest 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.
