Zen Armoire

Product Description

The Zen Collection, designed by Jill Salisbury, is Asian inspired. The softly raked surface of a Zen garden is mimicked in the linear texture of the collection’s distinctive feature. Zen's unique signature is its beautiful tagua nut inlaid door pulls. The tagua nut, which is a renewable resource, is found in Ecuador and is traditionally used by local artisans to carve small, sculptural figures. As an inlay, the tagua nut mimics ivory. The Zen Armoire is fabricated with FSC certified wood using a natural, non-toxic finish derived from tree sap.

STANDARD WOOD OPTIONS: WALNUT, FSC RIFT-CUT OAK & FSC CHERRY WITH FSC CORE MATERIAL. FINISH OPTIONS: NATURAL, EBONY WASH ON WALNUT ONLY, EBONY ON EITHER WALNUT OR OAK. FEATURES CUSTOM TAGUA NUT INLAID DOOR PULLS
