Description
Design. Stylish storage has never looked better than the sleek and modern design of the Versilia 5 Drawer Chest. Solid koto wood and veener looks simply stunning with the luxurious sheen of the lacquered 6 layer finish of the Versilia, beautifully accenting the wood characteristics and markings as well as adding a welcome modern edge. Completing the contemporary look of the Versilia, metallic accents of chrome feet and handles alongside linear detailing are the perfect match for an effortlessly stylish contrast with the deep toned wood.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its sleek, contemporary look and versatile colour. The high gloss grey finish gives it a modern edge, making it a perfect statement piece in minimal or industrial interiors. It works well in bedrooms aiming for a sophisticated vibe, but can also be styled in mixed-use spaces like a home office or dressing area. Practical tip: keep accessories simple-perhaps a few well-chosen books or decor items on top-to avoid cluttering the clean lines. This chest of drawers also pairs beautifully with both light and dark colour schemes, making it a flexible choice for transforming the overall feel of a room.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
