Anuke Rattan Kids Cabinet - Natural

The Anuke is a small rattan cabinet for a child's room, and its door is the thing you notice first: a flower drawn in looped rattan petals around an open ring. Under its arched top it measures 35cm long, 24cm wide and 47cm tall, so it is bedside height rather than a full cupboard, with cane webbing on the sides and a single shelf inside. The composition is 85% rattan, 10% plywood and 5% iron, in a natural colour and a natural finish, and the whole cabinet weighs 2.4KG.

It stands happily beside a child's bed as a bedside table, with the top free for a book and the space behind the door for picture books, small toys and the odds and ends that would otherwise end up on the floor. It suits a playroom or a living room just as well, wherever toys need somewhere to go. One thing worth knowing: the door is open-work, so what you keep inside stays partly on view. That makes it better for a tidy little display than for hiding clutter away completely. The maker gives a maximum load of 1.5KG, so keep it for light things, a few books or a soft toy, rather than heavy storage.

The rattan is left in its natural finish, and the cabinet stands on legs of natural bamboo. Inside, the shelf divides the space into two compartments, one above the other, and the door swings on small metal hinges and closes against a metal catch, with a little tab on its edge to pull it open. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. For styling, stand it against the wall at the head of the bed and let the flower door face into the room, with a woven basket alongside for the larger toys that will not fit behind it.
