Some furniture earns its keep by doing less, not more, and the Rasha Wooden Chest of Drawers is one such piece. Crafted from solid teak with a soft brown finish, it honours the wood's natural colour and grain rather than dressing it up. The panelled sides, slim tapered legs and chunky carved wood handles give it a subtle vintage feel. The surfaces are lightly worn, the joinery is exposed, and the whole piece reads as honest, hard-wearing furniture made to be used.
Two roomy drawers give this wooden chest of drawers clean lines and plenty of storage in a footprint that won't overwhelm a room. The drawers slide open to hold folded linens, clothing, paperwork or the odds and ends of daily life, while the flat top gives you a surface for a lamp, a stack of books or a small plant. It works as a chest and drawers piece in a bedroom, and as a cabinet it fits just as well in an entryway, a study or the corner of a living room.
It's a vintage wooden chest that does its job without any 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 leave it as a working surface. Each one is handcrafted by skilled artisans, so slight variations in tone, grain and texture are part of the deal, proof that a human, not a machine, made it.
