Description
A campaign chest stripped back to two materials: leather and brass. No timber shows anywhere on the piece — the hide is drawn over every face, the drawers included, and the only interruptions are the studs.
The carcass is engineered board clad entirely in thick, marbled hide, cut and stitched by hand with a twin needle so the seams read as a deliberate line rather than a join. Brass caps are riveted over all eight corners, top and bottom, the way a travelling trunk was armoured against the luggage van. Each of the two deep drawers runs on a concealed soft-close runner and is faced flush with the body, so the front reads as one continuous leather plane when closed.
The handles are cut from the same hide as the body and hung on solid brass mounts — recessed, so nothing protrudes to catch on a doorway or a passing leg. The back is finished in velvet suede rather than left raw, which means the piece can stand away from a wall without showing an unfinished face.
The leather is a pull-up hide with pronounced tonal movement: it lightens where it stretches over the corners and deepens in the recesses. Every hide takes the finish differently, so the marbling on your piece will not match the photographs. It will darken and settle with handling, and the brass will lose its factory brightness within the first year.
At 106 cm long and only 50 cm high it works as a coffee table, a bed-end chest or a hallway bench — low enough to sit on, long enough to hold a tray and a stack of books.

Your piece is built after you order it rather than taken off a shelf, so we’d rather you check these measurements against your room first — made-to-order pieces can’t be returned or exchanged. Being handmade, finished dimensions may vary by a centimetre or two.
If these proportions aren’t quite right for your space, we can change them. Speak to a design consultant before you order and we’ll build the piece to your measurements.
Materials
Built from carefully selected, natural materials — kiln-dried hardwoods, hand-spun textiles, cast metal and quarried stone, chosen to last for decades. Naturally occurring grain and tone variation is intrinsic to each handmade piece.
Fabric care
Vacuum gently and regularly with an upholstery attachment to lift dust before it settles. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — press, don’t rub — and avoid soaking the fabric. Plump and rotate loose cushions so they wear evenly. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve colour, and have delicate weaves cleaned professionally rather than machine-washed.
Craftsmanship
Carved, joined and finished by hand in our workshops, passing through the hands of several craftspeople. Joinery is mortise-and-tenon — never glued shortcuts — so the piece is made to be kept and passed down.
Assembly & Installation
Most pieces arrive securely packed and ready to use. Some larger items may require simple assembly; installation assistance may be available depending on the product and your location — speak with a consultant to confirm before ordering.
Care
Dust timber with a soft dry cloth and treat with wax balm twice yearly. Vacuum upholstery gently and treat marks promptly. Keep out of prolonged direct sun to preserve the finish.
