A Plan Chest for Trent Gallery, Pretoria


A finished set of Architects drawers (plan chest) in the workshop waiting for delivery.


This is a plan chest that I built around 2010. The client, Stuart Trent from the Trent Gallery in Pretoria wanted a set of draws to put into his gallery. He had metal sets but he wanted something more sympathetic to his gallery space. Owing to the size of the entrance the set had to be split into two sections of three drawers each. The bottom three were to have locks on. He decided that he wanted them to made from Douglas Fir (Oregon Pine).



Some of the timber just arrived from the mill.
