Thika Nursery Storage Unit
Handcrafted by jakape furiture in 005,uppersavannah,nairobi,kenya
The Thika Nursery Storage Unit is a nursery storage unit handcrafted in Kenya from board. It brings together two things a young family usually buys separately: a run of drawers and a small hanging cupboard, held in one upright case. The small painted motifs scattered across the drawer fronts are applied by hand, so no two fronts sit in quite the same rhythm. The piece is built from board with a smooth white painted surface. Slim pale timber bar handles run horizontally across each drawer front, and the case is divided vertically — drawers to one side, a hinged door opening onto a hanging rail to the other. The top is raised with a low lip along the back and sides, and the whole thing rests on a plain plinth base. This storage unit is made for a nursery or a child's bedroom. The raised top takes a changing mat, a jar of cotton wool and a few wooden blocks without things sliding off; the drawers hold folded knitwear and socks, while the cupboard side keeps small hanging garments visible and creaseless. Placed against a wall near a feeding chair, everything stays within one arm's reach. Kenyan furniture-making moves easily between joinery and paint, and case pieces like this are finished by hand in workshops where a maker sees a piece through from cutting to final coat. Buying through Kamara puts your order directly with that workshop, and the hand-applied detailing is the record of it.
