Description
The Ibo tall cabinet is a single-door storage cabinet in reclaimed wood, 172cm high, 63cm wide and 44cm deep, finished in a pale sun-washed tone. The door is a full-height louvre, narrow horizontal slats set in a solid frame, and it is hinged on the right. Behind it the carcass is divided by three fixed shelves into four compartments, with a plank back and solid plank sides. The cabinet stands on four short feet formed where the side panels run past the base.
At 172cm high and only 63cm wide it takes a narrow run of wall, in a hallway, a bedroom corner or the alcove beside a chimney breast, where a wider cabinet would not go. It is 44cm deep, so stacked plates, folded linen or box files sit front to back in each compartment rather than in a single row. The louvred door lets air move through the cabinet rather than sealing it, and closed it reads as one slatted panel against a plain wall.
The whole cabinet is reclaimed wood, salvaged from decommissioned Indian transport trucks and cut down panel by panel, so the grain, the knots and the weathering are different across every surface and no two cabinets are the same. The pale tone comes from light sanding and a natural finish over the salvaged timber rather than from paint or stain, so the marks left by the first use of the wood stay visible. The Ibo range is wide, and runs to a low slatted cabinet, slatted cabinets in small and large, sideboards, console tables, shelves and a coffee table.

Frequently Asked
How many shelves are inside?
Three fixed shelves, dividing the inside into four compartments.
Does it have one door or two?
One. A single full-height louvred door, hinged on the right.
How big is it?
172cm high, 63cm wide and 44cm deep, and it weighs 80.7kg.
What is it made from?
Reclaimed wood salvaged from Indian transport trucks. Every panel carries the grain, knots and weathering of its first use, so no two cabinets are alike.
How should it be looked after?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, always along the grain. Mild soap and water can be used, but sparingly, as too much water will damage the finish. Blot spills straight away and dry the surface. Keep it out of strong direct sunlight and away from extremes of heat and humidity, which can fade, crack or split the wood. Harsh chemicals and abrasive materials will damage the finish.
