The rectangular form is thoughtfully designed, with a copper-lined basin historically used for charcoal heating or tea preparation, lending both authenticity and functional heritage.

To one side, a series of graduated drawers with brass pulls provide practical storage for implements and accessories. The warm tones of the burlwood are complemented by the patinated brass hardware, creating a harmonious balance of material and form.
