The bathroom is not just a functional space — it is the setting of the two most important rituals of the day, waking up and the minutes before sleep. A wooden cabinet in this space is not just storage: it adds atmosphere, warmth, and character to the room. This grey scrubbed albasia wood cabinet has arrived from the island of Bali — hand-sanded, hand-painted, one of the finest pieces of the free craft tradition.
Albasia wood — lightweight yet durable
Albasia wood (Falcataria moluccana, sengon) is one of the most widespread fast-growing timber species in Indonesia and South-East Asia. It is lighter than teak or mahogany, yet provides adequate durability for indoor furniture. The natural grain of the wood is highlighted by the hand-sanded surface; the grey scrubbed paint treatment gives a subtle, worn effect that evokes a rustic style mellowed by time.
Hand-sanded, hand-painted
Every cabinet is individually sanded and painted by Balinese craftspeople. The grey scrubbed technique does not mean a uniform covering paint — the paint is partially sanded back after application so that part of the wood's natural grain remains visible. This process results in an antiqued, patinated appearance that suits modern, Scandinavian, or rustic bathroom styles.
Size and capacity
The cabinet measures 120 x 66.7 x 40 cm — a considerable height, sufficient width, and appropriate depth for storing bathroom accessories, towels, cosmetics, and other items. The weight of approximately 16 kg indicates a robust, stable piece of furniture. Please request further details about the exact internal layout, shelves, and door opening.
