CHARRED GEOMETRIC COMMODE

Edition of 25. Here our single drawer modern interpretation of the traditional bedroom mainstay is rendered in charred Loblolly Pine; with mitered edges, the undulating texture wraps the case in deep color. As a counter point, the graphic, triangular tapered legs remain clear and golden. The cabinet is scaled for a place beside the bed or sofa with room for a lamp, several books and a glass of water.

 

This piece is charred and built to order. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for completion. You can also commission a similar piece, bespoke for your space. 

 

The Charred Collection evolved from the traditional roots of ancient Japanese wood construction, which emphasized a need for rot and bug tolerance while maintaining a consistent structural integrity. Our burning process, based on this model, entails binding three boards into a chimney for a controlled burn over a small firebox. The resulting boards are wire brushed and receive multiple coats of a clear, zero VOC, water based finish. This ensures durability, functionality, and longevity as an elegant and unexpected addition to a space.
