Zhu Burgundy Dresser – Handcrafted Solid Wood Sideboard

A bold and sculptural presence, the Zhu Burgundy Dresser combines the functionality of a six-drawer dresser with the visual impact of a statement sideboard. Entirely handcrafted in Italy from solid ash wood, this piece is defined by a careful selection of materials and a deep respect for the natural grain. The burgundy finish is applied in a way that enhances — rather than conceals — the wood’s texture, allowing its character to remain visible and authentic. Each drawer is built using traditional double dovetail joinery, both at the front and the back, ensuring long-term strength and structural integrity. The internal structure is also made of solid ash, while the removable bottom panel in ash plywood allows for durability and practicality over time. The front composition is designed with alternating vertical and horizontal grain patterns, creating a subtle rhythm across the surface. The integrated handles are carved directly into the drawer fronts, with an intentionally staggered positioning — alternating between top and bottom — adding both functionality and a refined visual detail. Each drawer features slightly different dimensions, reinforcing the bespoke and handcrafted nature of the piece. The drawers are equipped with concealed high-end Blum runners, offering full extension, smooth operation, and high load capacity, while maintaining a clean and minimal aesthetic. The base is defined by four sculptural solid ash legs, carved from substantial blocks and mounted with a distinctive inward inclination, giving the piece both stability and a strong architectural identity. Designed to work both as a dresser and as a sideboard, the Zhu Burgundy Dresser adapts naturally to living spaces and bedrooms, becoming a focal point without overwhelming the environment. Each piece is made to order and can be customized in size, finish, and wood selection, offering a tailored solution for refined interiors.
