BH | Studio Masham Wave-Front 6-Drawer Dresser

The chest of drawers came into English houses in the later seventeenth century, and by the mid-eighteenth century cabinetmakers were shaping drawer fronts into serpentine curves, so a long run of storage caught the light like carved work.

This long, low dresser has six drawers in two columns of three, every front shaped into soft vertical waves that run in an unbroken rhythm across the width. The reveals between the drawers and the recessed plinth frame the fronts and lift the piece visually off the floor. At nearly 58 inches wide there is room for a whole wardrobe of folded clothes, with drawers for sweaters, denim, sleepwear and socks, and the dresser is rated to hold 110 lbs. It is a sturdy engineered wood core under a laminate finish in Almond, Cream or Hazel, with glides under the plinth to protect the floor, and assembly is required.

Place it opposite the bed in a primary bedroom with a wide mirror above, use it as a low console under a wall-hung television, or give it a dining room as a sideboard for linens and candles. Its soft waves read light and Scandinavian: pair it with white walls, a pale wool rug, a ceramic lamp and a leafy fiddle-leaf fig in a woven basket. This listing is for one dresser.
