Tambour Drinks Cabinet

Know that feeling you get when something you’ve slaved over turns out so well that it makes your heart sing? We experienced it when the Tambour Drinks Cabinet finally emerged in the product you see here. We’re proud of the way it looks, of course, but the elevated sense of satisfaction comes from the way the cabinet’s function so perfectly dovetails with its form and the materials used in its construction. Tambour doors that slide away to either side work so well in this context, where you’ll be standing in front of the cabinet pouring and mixing drinks. The mirrored glass shelves add a glamorous touch at the same time as being intensely practical. And the two small drawers are perfect for the measures, swizzle stocks, coasters and other paraphernalia every drinks cabinet needs to accommodate. With the practicality taken care of, please rest your gentle gaze on the way this cabinet looks, and imagine it standing in your home. Then raise a glass to the sustainable forests of North America’s east coast and the stunning white oak that emerges from them, permitting us to craft timeless furniture like this.

Our Oak:

We only use sustainably harvested American oak to craft our furniture. Timber is an inherently sustainable material - trees are (ideally) an infinitely renewable resource. But many manufacturers rely on monocropped pine, or other woods, due to cost and ease. This practice destroys soil and the surrounding ecosystem. All our oak is grown and harvested in indigenous forests on the east coast of America. Trees are felled only once they’ve reached full maturity. Then they are drawn from the forest in minimally invasive ways that preserve the surrounding vegetation. It’s all about delivering a truly sustainable and stunning product.

Manufacturing Process:

Paragraph: Carpentry and joinery are two of the oldest crafts on earth, and furniture making ordinarily requires a huge amount of skill in order to deliver truly exceptional results. Unfortunately, these traditions are largely dying off, particularly in the global South, making great wooden furniture hard to come by at reasonable prices. At Houtlander we want as many people as possible to have access to beautiful, well-crafted furniture which lasts a lifetime. This is why we’ve combined expert craftsmanship with 5-axis CNC technology, allowing us to create perfect curves, joints and furniture features in an affordable and replicable way.
