Japanese Style Media Chest Custom-Order Reference in Re-claimed Elm with Teak Finish

This custom-order Japanese style media chest is a reference example from Eastern Classics and is not available for purchase. Documented with a 72"W x 22"D x 30"H footprint, re-claimed elm wood, and a teak finish, it combines broad media storage proportions with traditional slatted-door styling and multiple drawers.

Japanese Style Media Chest

The cabinet presents a long, low profile suited to media storage, with two large front sections fitted with narrow vertical slats, a paneled cupboard door at the right, and a row of drawers below. The overall design draws on Japanese tansu-inspired forms in a practical media chest format, offering a balance of enclosed storage and a clean horizontal presentation.

The visible hardware includes dark metal pulls on the lower drawers and a small round pull at the right-side door. The top is slightly overhanging, and the case sits on a substantial base that reinforces the grounded, architectural look of the piece.

Design Notes

In plain terms, tansu refers to traditional Japanese cabinetry and chests known for practical storage and strong rectilinear forms. Here, that influence is expressed through the low cabinet format, the slatted front panels, and the straightforward arrangement of doors and drawers adapted for media use.
