There’s a pleasing sense of discovery about The Old Workshop Cabinet. With its mix of timber, metal detailing and useful little compartments, it has the character of a piece that might once have stood in a craftsman’s workshop, quietly gathering tools, materials and treasured odds and ends.

The eye is naturally drawn to the tall cupboard door, where a geometric pattern of warm timber creates a beautifully tactile patchwork of grain and tone. Alongside it, a glazed cupboard offers a place to display favourite objects, while two contrasting drawers with industrial-style metal fronts bring another layer of workshop character.

Look closely and it’s the differences that make this cabinet so appealing: the lighter wooden top against the darker frame, the varied grain of the timber, the simple metal handles and the unexpected combination of open display and hidden storage. Together, they give the piece an informal, collected feel, as though it has evolved rather than simply been made.

In a living room, it could hold books, ceramics and favourite finds; in a hallway, it becomes a handsome home for everyday essentials; and in a dining room, there’s ample opportunity to fill it with glassware, linens and all the things that make gathering around the table a pleasure.

Useful without feeling ordinary, The Old Workshop Cabinet is a characterful piece of furniture designed to be filled, enjoyed and made part of your home.

Made from fir wood.
