The Kariga Japandi Slatted Console

A perfect harmony of Nordic simplicity, Japanese elegance, and authentic Indian craftsmanship. Handcrafted in India from sustainably sourced solid mango wood, this statement piece features a striking asymmetric facade. One door is kept completely smooth to showcase the organic, rich wood grain, while the other is detailed with clean, architectural vertical slats. Raised on an ultra-slim, powder-coated iron frame, it brings a weightless, floating aesthetic to any modern interior.

• Japandi Aesthetic: Features a textured, fluted/slatted panel on one side that creates a sophisticated play on light and shadow without cluttering your space.
• Mid-Century Silhouette: Supported by a minimalist, geometric iron base that creates a "floating" effect, keeping your room feeling open and airy.

The Kariga Cabinet Console is the perfect way to bring fresh, modern style and rich texture into your everyday living spaces. Inspired by the popular Japandi trend—which blends the cozy simplicity of Scandinavian style with the clean minimalism of Japanese design—this piece focuses on beautiful lines and real wood textures. Handcrafted in India, it features a rich black finish that lets the natural, unique grain of the solid mango wood subtly show through, giving it an incredibly warm and inviting look.

The standout feature of this console is its eye-catching asymmetric front. One door is kept completely smooth to highlight the organic character of the wood, while the other features a beautiful pattern of clean, vertical wooden slats. This clever design creates a beautiful look that changes depending on how the light hits it, adding instant style to your room without feeling cluttered or loud.

Built for busy modern homes, the solid wood cabinet sits securely on a strong, powder-coated black iron frame. By lifting the cabinet off the floor, it creates a light, breezy look that keeps your room feeling open and bright. Inside, you'll find plenty of shelving space, making it a highly versatile piece that works beautifully as a dining room sideboard, an entryway accent, or a sleek living room TV console.
