From pale ash to deep walnut, each drawer in the Rustic Mixed-Wood Chest of Drawers showcases a different British hardwood — a chest that functions as a chromatic study in timber, every surface a different grain, colour, and character from the one beside it.
The drawer fronts are the story: each one made from a different species, the natural knots, figuring, and variations within each board left to show rather than hidden, because that's where the interest is. The pieces have been selected and arranged so the transition from one species to the next reads naturally across the face of the chest — a composition that only someone who knows timber well can pull off. The frame is hand-built with solid joinery throughout and finished in natural oil, which feeds the grain and allows each wood to express its own particular warmth.
A piece for people who love wood itself — not just the shape it takes, but the material. Get in touch to discuss dimensions, timber selection, or a bespoke commission in your own palette.
