Description
Two metres of leather, brass and vintage kilim, kept low at 50 cm so the screen above it sits at eye level from the sofa rather than the dining chair.
The front is divided into four bays. Three carry a fixed shelf over a drawer — the shelf for a set-top box, a router or a stack of books, the drawer for everything you would rather not see. The fourth bay, left of centre, is left open from base to top for the tall pieces: a soundbar, a console, a receiver. A cable cut-out in the back lets power and HDMI leads run straight through to the wall, so nothing trails over the top or around the sides.
The three drawers run on soft-close runners that draw themselves shut the last inch. Each is faced with a kilim panel framed in leather and pulled by a stitched leather strap on brass mounts. The drawers, the shelves and every bay are lined in velvet-nap suede.
The top is laid in four leather panels, the second inset with kilim, stitched along each join and edged with domed studs. Both flanks carry a full-height kilim panel held in a leather frame with brass caps at every corner, and the back is finished in suede nap, so the piece can stand away from a wall without showing a raw face.
The carcass is engineered board rather than solid timber, and deliberately so — across a two-metre span carrying a television and electronics, a laminated panel stays flat where solid boards move with the seasons. It sits on a solid wood plinth with splayed, tapered legs, stained to your choice of finish.
Every kilim panel is cut by hand from a vintage rug, so the pattern, colours and weave on your piece will not match the photographs. The panels will not match each other either — the top inset, the three drawer fronts and the two flanks are each cut from different parts of the rug. No two TV units are alike. The leather is finished to show its natural markings and will soften and deepen in tone with use.

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.
Delivery & Shipping
Made-to-order pieces are crafted in 6–8 weeks and then dispatched by safe, insured delivery, securely packed for transit. Assembly assistance is available on selected pieces. International freight is quoted at checkout.
