Clothing and bedding live in the \u003cem\u003eoshiire\u003c\/em\u003e, a deep recess built into the wall and closed off with paper-covered sliding panels, so that storage disappears entirely and the room is left empty. Emptiness is the luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWestern bedrooms are not built that way. If your storage has to stand in the room, it had better be worth looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Shale Wardrobe is the answer to that problem — a single tall volume of walnut, seventy inches high, with the grain running unbroken across two full-height doors. There is no moulding, no frame, no visible hardware. Just wood, and one deliberate exception: the pulls are cut from full-grain leather. Like the single stem placed in a \u003cem\u003etokonoma\u003c\/em\u003e alcove, the whole composition works because there is exactly one point of contrast and nothing competing with it. Leather also does something a metal handle cannot — it warms to the touch and darkens slowly where your hand lands, so the piece keeps a record of being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBehind the doors it is a working closet. A garment-hanging bar takes shirts and jackets, and three adjustable shelves sit beneath or beside them, arranged however your wardrobe actually works rather than how a factory guessed it would. Four drawers across the base handle what should never be on a hanger. Doors and drawers are self-closing — they draw themselves shut over the last inch, silently, which in a bedroom at six in the morning is not a small thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe walnut is a veneer over a constructed solid wood core. That combination is deliberate at this height: solid panels three and a half feet wide would cup and twist across seasons, while this stays flat, and the face you touch is real walnut with real figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOne practical note. The back panel is left unfinished, so this piece is designed to stand against a wall rather than float in the middle of a room. Plan its place before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt ships fully assembled by freight — nothing to build, but clear the route in and measure your doorways first. Seventy inches tall, forty-four wide, twenty-two deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOverall: 44\"W × \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e22\"D × 70\"H (112 × 56 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e× 178 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWalnut \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eveneer over \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econstructed solid \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewood\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFull-grain \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleather door and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrawer pulls\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTwo \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efull-height doors, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efour drawers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThree \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eadjustable interior \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshelves\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eGarment-hanging bar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSelf-closing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehardware on doors and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrawers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWood side, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebottom and back \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epanels; back is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunfinished\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eShips \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efully assembled, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efreight delivery\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e5-year warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eClean with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
