‘Bayus Night 6’ chest of drawers, Porada
If we had to choose a favourite detail of this design by Gabriele & Oscar Buratti it’d have to be the ‘scoubidou-effect’ handles, although the leather drawer fronts would come a close second. Created specifically for the bedroom, it can be paired with the matching ‘Bayus’ bedside table for a coordinated look. £8,360, everythingbutordinary.co.uk
‘Rowan Midi’, Bisley
Bisley is known for its office filing cabinets, but its ‘Rowan Midi’ is ideal for a playroom or bedroom alcove. The storage unit comes in 17 vivacious colours (including ‘Lilac’, pictured) while hairpin oak legs form the base. £535, bisley.com
‘Kula Chest of Drawers III’, Zanat
Named after the Bosnian word for tower, ‘Kula’ is a collection of imposing wooden chests made from either maple or walnut by Michele De Lucchi . They’re decidedly totemic pieces that serve as sculptures as well as functional furniture. £14,100, monologuelondon.com
‘Pillar’ chest of drawers, Huw Evans
British designer Huw Evans’s ‘Pillar’ collection for The Conran Shop is informed by the architectural fluting of ancient Greek Doric columns, which can be seen on the undulating front of this chest of drawers. £2,295, theconranshop.com
‘Teorema’ chest of drawers, Molteni & C
This design by Ron Gilad looks like something from a Harry Potter set, and its rotating compartments offer a touch of magic. The best thing about it is that it’s modular, so you can use the individual drawers as single units or stack them as shown to form a twisting helix. From £10,303, molteni.it
‘Bosco‘ chest of drawers, Ercol
‘Bosco’ is made for storing folded clothes and underwear, thanks to six deep drawers and its sturdy oak foundations. Curved recessed handles makes opening the drawers during the morning rush a seamless affair. £1,525, ercol.com
‘Haller Mix and Match‘, USM
Personalisation is at the heart of USM Haller’s ‘Mix and Match’ range, which lets you create your own colour way and size. We’d go for orange for the drop down doors and brown for the smooth top to create a retro feel. £3,000, uk.usm.com
‘Lars‘ chest of drawers, Heal‘s
If you think this chest of drawers has a Scandinavian aesthetic, you’re not wrong – it’s the work of Danish design duo Says Who (who have also created popular pieces for the likes of John Lewis & Partners and The Sofa Company). £1,149, heals.com
‘Pietro’ chest of drawers, Soho Home
A combination of decorative details elevate this Soho Home chest’s pill-shaped design, from the Michelangelo marble top and antique brass inlay to carved wooden accents resulting in traditional charm. £2,995, sohohome.com
