Walnut Burr Vanity in St John's Wood
A bookmatched burr-walnut bathroom vanity with a serpentine front, marble top and hand-turned legs, designed to read as freestanding furniture.
The commission
Furniture character, bathroom function.
For this St John's Wood home, the vanity needed to bring warmth and individuality to the bathroom. The cabinet combines the presence of an antique piece with made-to-measure storage and the practical precision required around modern plumbing.
Designed for the room
Burr walnut, composed by hand.
The veneer was selected and bookmatched so the figuring flows across the serpentine front. Hand-turned legs lift the cabinet visually, while the shaped marble top follows the same measured geometry and provides a durable surface around the basin.
In detail
Natural pattern as the detail.
Rather than relying on applied ornament, the composition uses the movement of burr walnut, a restrained profile and finely proportioned legs to give this North-West London bathroom a distinctive focal point.
