Our new and exclusive collaboration with artist and designer Yinka Ilori celebrates playful design with original pieces you can make your own. Inspired by similarities between Yinka's London upbringing and Dunelm's origin on Leicester market, the collection remixes and reimagines nostalgic shapes, colours, and themes. Introduce elegance to any room with the Half‑Log 5 Drawer Chest, a beautifully crafted piece defined by its soft, curvaceous silhouette. Inspired by the natural form of a sliced log, the design showcase's a rounded, flowing front profile that brings a sculptural, contemporary presence to any space. Expertly finished in warm oak and elevated on decorative chrome legs, the piece gains a subtle touch of refinement and lift, balancing its organic form with a modern, design‑forward edge. The five spacious drawers provide generous storage while keeping belongings neatly organised and easily accessible. Perfect for those who appreciate enduring craftsmanship, soft geometry, and furniture that feels as artful as it is functional.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Yinka Ilori half log chest for its modern yet warm design, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary and Scandi-inspired spaces thanks to its clean lines and natural wood finish. Practical tips include pairing it with colourful or patterned accessories on top to add personality, or using it in a child’s bedroom or hallway for functional storage without overwhelming the space. The slim profile also makes it ideal for making the most of smaller rooms while still providing ample storage, and its subtle detailing helps it to blend seamlessly into existing decor.

About Dunelm
A Legacy of Home Comfort Dunelm's Journey
Dunelm isn't just another store; it's a British legacy. Kicked off in 1979 by the dynamic duo, Bill and Jeany Adderley, what began as a simple market stall in Leicester transformed into one of the UK's most prominent home furnishings retailers.
Fast forward a bit, and their first brick-and-mortar store sprang to life in Leicester in 1984. Dunelm didn't stop there, making waves throughout the decades, innovating and expanding, launching an online shopping experience, and securing its place on the London Stock Exchange.
More than Just Products...A Personal Touch
With a whopping 177 stores across the UK, Dunelm isn't just about selling items; it's about crafting experiences. Many of their stores come with cosy Pausa cafes, offering a space to relax and refuel.
And if you've ever felt like joining a community, they've got dedicated Facebook groups for each store locality. It's not just about buying a product; it's about being part of the Dunelm family. Their online platform seamlessly complements their in-store experience, promising product availability and varied delivery options.
Sustainability and Future Thinking
But Dunelm is more than its rich history and expansive product range. At its core, the company is committed to creating that heartfelt sensation of truly being at home. They've placed a solid emphasis on making responsible, long-term decisions that prioritise our environment and cherish future relationships.
85% of their growth over the past five years is credited to market share gains, underscoring their commitment to sustainability and quality.
