Engineered board is the deliberate choice over solid timber here: across this width it holds its shape through humidity rather than splitting or warping at the corners the way a solid-wood carcass eventually will. Vintage kilim is inset into all five drawer fronts, laid across the lid and carried the full height of both flanks.

This one is a chest on wheels. Eighty centimetres wide, forty-five deep, standing 120 cm tall — four drawers of clothing below, and a fitted dressing station hidden under the lid. Lift it and a bevelled mirror rises with it; underneath sit lined divisions for rings, chains and watches, a removable tray for perfume and creams, and a well deep enough to stand brushes upright. Close it and the room sees a tall chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt rolls on castors, which is more useful than it sounds. Few bedrooms have a dressing corner with good light in the morning — this one you push to the window and back against the wall by evening. It also means a piece this tall gets moved rather than lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it stands at 120 cm, the mirror meets you at standing height. This is a dressing chest you use on your feet, not one you sit down to. Allow roughly 50 cm of clearance above the lid for it to open fully, which rules out a low shelf or a sloped ceiling directly overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made two ways. Photographed here in ivory coated canvas — the material trunk-makers have used for a century, light, tough and unfussy — bound at every edge, studded and capped in brass. We normally hold one finished in the Delhi showroom.

Across the top run four drawers for the things you reach for daily; below them, a single wide drawer sits between two smaller ones — deep and long enough for folded knitwear, linen or anything that shouldn't be creased into a narrow box — and is pulled by a strap at each end. Every drawer is faced in leather and lifted by a curved leather strap held between two metal plates, the way a travelling case is carried. Domed studs are driven by hand around the full frame of the front, along every top edge and in a line across each flank at the drawer division, and cast metal caps armour the corners. The top is covered in leather laid as two panels meeting at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, every drawer is lined in a dark suede finish and runs on soft-close steel runners.

The croc pattern is pressed and then hand-worked, so the scale catches the light differently from panel to panel; plain leather shows the hide's own grain instead and records handling more openly.
