or Call to Order

The Fatima chest of drawers not only provides a prac­ti­cal storage solu­tion, but it also becomes a sculp­tural focal point in any inte­rior in which it is placed. The three drawer panels have been clev­erly fabri­cated with an inte­grated end-to-end hori­zon­tal indented strip that func­tions as a handle. Each drawer has been fitted with special hard­ware that allows for the drawers’ gentle auto­matic closure. The Fatima chest’s simple recti­lin­ear base frame is composed of .75” thick squared tubular brushed stain­less steel that has been beau­ti­fully mitered at 45 degrees to create the base’s four right angles.
