Closed, it is one unbroken face of walnut. That is the point of it. 12H mark and number the grain on every slat of the tambour door before assembly, so the figure runs on across the curve rather than stopping at each slat. Then you roll the door back and the cabinet turns into something else entirely: three adjustable shelves on the right for books or tableware, four deep drawers stacked like a dresser on the left, pale timber-lined inside. Concealment and revelation, which is a very old idea in Chinese furniture and an unusually practical one in a hallway. The frame is solid wood, mortise-and-tenon, no visible fixings. It stands on a black plinth that lifts the whole mass just clear of the floor. Made to order by 12H in black walnut with black-stained ash. Allow 12 to 20 weeks. **Word count:** 158.
