About this product
A vintage style freestanding wooden cabinet hand finished in distressed wood tones. Two front doors each have a clear glazed pane, opening with a traditional pull handle to a complementary interior with elements of dark green and cream and a central shelf. It is crafted with an integral door edging to conceal the closure gap. Each side has 2 glazed panes. This is a solid, purposeful storage unit or a display cabinet to showcase items while protecting them from dust. This one-off glazed cabinet is part of an exclusive collection of hand crafted, fairly traded Indian furniture made especially for Namaste.

Our supplier is a small, family owned company specialising in upcycling and recycling furniture from India. They provide skilled employment to 40 workers including skilled carpenters and artisan painters whose skills give furniture a new lease of life. The work is relatively well paid due to it being skilled work and we have visited them on several occasions and found a well organised environment with a happy workforce. Almost all of the wood is recycled and if any new wood is used then it is from sustainable sources such as mango wood. They care passionately about the environment, produce no waste materials and use recycled packaging materials. They support several local charities, including an organisation that teaches blind students, an organisation that supports homeless children and a local project that feeds and looks after homeless animals. Their policies align with the 10 Principles of Fair Trade as set out by the WFTO, THE World Fair Trade Organisation.
