This classic mid-century blanket box offers timeless style, practical storage, and sustainable design in one elegant piece. Its clean lines and tapered legs reflect the era’s iconic aesthetic, while the solid wood construction ensures it remains a durable, functional addition to your home.
Perfect for use at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or as a stylish coffee table alternative, this versatile trunk can store everything from blankets and bedding to shoes, toys, or off-season clothing. The lid lifts smoothly to reveal a spacious interior, while the flat surface makes it ideal for placing books, trays, or decorative items.
The box has been sympathetically restored in our West London workshop, where it was cleaned, repaired, and hand-finished with nourishing wood oil to revive the grain and preserve its natural warmth. The result is a soft satin finish that enhances its vintage charm while protecting the wood for years to come.
Whether you’re furnishing a retro-inspired room or mixing eras for a more eclectic look, this piece brings character and functionality while helping to reduce waste and support local skills development.
