The Japanese word tansu translates roughly to “box”, “cabinet”, “chest”, or “chest of drawers.” Mobility and utility are the key design elements of the tansu making them simple, beautiful, and highly practical pieces of furniture that are perfect for today’s modern homes.
The wonderful combination of utility, mobility, beauty, and efficient use of space make the tansu a perfect addition for the modern home. The clean, simple, zen lines of the tansu help to calm our modern overstimulated senses and allow the tansu to be easily incorporated into homes of any design.
The many drawers and storage areas of the Japanese tansu help us bring order to our cluttered lives in a stylish way. Many tansu are modular, allowing the pieces to be used separately and arranged in the home with limitless possibilities. Many of the tansu modules have handles that allow them to be moved easily with their contents intact. The tansu is extremely flexible in function.
