Tre Shoe Cabinet

A shoe cabinet in which the walnut acts as a frame: it outlines the top, the sides and the base, and leaves white lacquered fronts to fill the middle. At the top is a drawer with a slim gold-toned handle; below, two smooth doors without handles, on splayed legs also in walnut.

The contrast is clear but gentle: the dark wood gives weight and warmth, the white returns light, and the gold of the handle adds a small detail of shine. The splayed legs lift the case off the floor and give it the presence of a sideboard rather than of simple storage.

In the hall it keeps a family’s shoes and, in the drawer, whatever you want to hand on the way out: keys, sunglasses, cards. The top takes a vase and a couple of frames. With the Tre Console Table, which has the same name, the entrance gains an extra top for keys and post.

Made to measure for your corridor or entrance, the cabinet changes in width and height to suit the space; the walnut is chosen at our shop in Pombal, where you can see it.
