The brief was to design a chest of drawers without handles or visible means of opening the drawers and with restrained shadow-lines. It was to be made in oak, to match existing bedroom furniture, and strong enough to use as an occasional seat.
The resulting design was deceptively simple but demanded absolute precision of execution. The drawers are set flush with the frame and accurately mounted on touch and release runners. Should they ever fail or trap their contents, access is allowed through a back panel.
“A really BIG THANK YOU to you for all your efforts in creating such a wonderful chest of drawers. It will be much loved – indeed, I caressed its silky surface last night and recognised a friend. I also noted that the floor and the chest together have a reassuring creak. I shall enjoy getting to know it well, and will enjoy the journey immensely."
