Naeema Wooden Chest Of Drawers

Good furniture earns its keep by doing less, not more, and the Naeema Wooden Chest of Drawers is one of those pieces. Crafted from solid teak with a warm brown finish, it lets the wood's own colour and grain do the talking, with smooth panels across the front, slim turned legs and simple carved wood pulls that nod to mid-century joinery. The surfaces have a soft aged patina, the lines are clean and uncluttered, and the whole piece reads as honest, hardwearing furniture made to be used.

Designed with balance in mind, this wooden chester drawer has three drawers, two smaller ones above and a wide deep one below, giving plenty of storage without overwhelming a room. The drawers open to hold folded linens, clothing, paperwork or the odds and ends of daily life, while the flat top provides a surface for a lamp, a stack of books or a small plant. It works well as a bedroom chest of drawers at the bedside, and as a small storage cabinet it fits just as well in an entryway, a study or the corner of a living room.

It's a vintage-style chest that does its job without fuss and looks better for the years it spends with you, well suited to anyone furnishing a bedroom, a hallway or a guest room. Set a mirror above it, or use it as a working surface. Each one is handmade by skilled artisans, so slight variations in tone, grain and texture are to be expected, proof that a human, not a machine, made it.
