Wood: American white oak and African walnut inlays.Finish: Rubio monocoat super white with a Shou-sugi-ban charred front stretcher.
Catherine only wanted "A place to keep the milk and water bottles in her kitchen".
Being a discerning design enthusiast with an aversion to sharp edges, I matched some of her living room larger furniture design and finish, for a seamless integration into her environment.
The chest, which was supposed to go under a table in her kitchen has been on proud display in her living room ever since, and her cat also loves it to lounge in the sun.
