Chest of drawers MESA natural ash and black metal IXIA

The chest of drawers MESA natural ash and black metal IXIA brings a warm, graphic note to a contemporary bedroom or living room. Placed against the wall near a window seat or beside a reading chair, it offers practical storage without visually closing the space. Its compact footprint hides generous organisation: three drawers grouped on the left and a single-door compartment on the right. The natural ash tone softens the room, while the black metal base adds a clear modern line. This piece works equally well as a bedroom dresser, a hallway console with extra capacity, or a small sideboard under artwork. The raised structure keeps the floor visible, which is especially welcome in smaller interiors. Use the top surface to highlight your favourite lamp, a vase or stacked books and let the distinctive front composition give character to an otherwise calm wall.

Visual design and character

The MESA chest of drawers stands out through its balanced play of volumes and patterns. The main body in natural ash displays a light, calming colour where the grain remains clearly visible, lending subtle movement to the surfaces. On the left, three equal-width drawers form a vertical band, their fronts flat and simple, emphasising straight horizontal lines. On the right, a single door draws attention with an elegant herringbone pattern: narrow ash slats arranged in alternating diagonals create a gentle relief and a sense of craftsmanship. This dialogue between minimal drawers and dynamic door panel gives the front a rhythm that feels contemporary yet timeless. Slender black metal legs lift the whole unit off the floor, introducing a contrasting dark frame that outlines the silhouette without weighing it down. The rectangular top echoes the linear base, providing a quiet stage for carefully selected decorative objects or lighting.

Why choose this piece

• Compact width combining three drawers and one cupboard, ideal for small rooms needing both closed storage and a visually light footprint.
• Natural ash finish with visible grain warms up neutral interiors while remaining easy to pair with existing wooden or painted furniture.
• Graphic herringbone door instantly enlivens a plain wall, giving structure and interest even when the rest of the decor stays minimal.
• Fine black metal legs visually lighten the volume, keep the floor in view and allow airier circulation around rugs and baseboards.
• Generous top surface functions as display zone for lamps, artworks or baskets, transforming useful storage into a real decorative focal point.

Where it works best

With its approximate width of 91 cm and height around 84.5 cm, the MESA chest of drawers is perfectly sized for bedrooms, hallways and compact living rooms. In a bedroom, position it along the longest wall, leaving enough clearance to fully open the drawers and door, and hang a mirror above to create a functional dressing corner. In a hallway, centre the piece on the wall opposite the entrance door to visually anchor the space; add a low table lamp and tray for keys. In a living room, it can serve as a sideboard near the dining area or behind a sofa, storing table linen and accessories. Its raised metal legs make it comfortable to place in front of skirting boards or near a radiator. To coordinate it with other storage units, explore our range of modern chests of drawers and complementary cabinets and echo their finishes.

Lasting decorative coherence

For long-term visual harmony, let the MESA chest of drawers guide your palette and material choices. The light ash pairs beautifully with soft whites, warm greys and muted greens, offering a calm base that you can refresh over time with textiles and accessories. Introduce other black accents—lamp bases, picture frames, slim shelves—to echo the metal legs and create a subtle graphic thread throughout the room. Nearby furniture in similar light wood or matte painted finishes will blend easily without competing with the herringbone door, which should remain the main textured statement. If you later rearrange the layout, this piece can move from bedroom to office or hallway while still matching, thanks to its simple geometry and neutral colours. Vary wall art, rugs and cushions around it, but keep at least a few repeating elements in black and ash to maintain a coherent, deliberate look.
