Japanese Tansu Style End Table
This custom-order reference example shows a Japanese tansu style end table with a compact vertical form, three drawer fronts, kiri wood construction, and a teak finish. The pictured piece is kept as a reference for past custom work and is not available for purchase.
In plain terms, tansu refers to traditional Japanese cabinetry and chest forms. This end table adapts that look to a practical bedside or seating-side format, combining the visual character of tansu-style hardware and framing with the convenience of a narrow footprint.
Design and Function
The documented measurements make this a slender end table suited to tight spaces beside a sofa or chair. The front is arranged in three stacked drawer sections, giving the piece a distinctly architectural tansu-inspired appearance while keeping the overall profile simple and compact. Dark hardware and corner-style accents contrast with the warm teak-toned finish.
Kiri wood is noted in the original specifications as the material for this custom-order piece. That material, together with the listed finish, defines the reference design for this example.
