Victorian Unit

Furniture piece combining sofa, bookcase, and hidden doorway in Kensington and Chelsea

This multifunctional furniture piece was designed for a small London flat. It combines a central bookcase, a sofa bed, and a hidden door leading to a private entrance.
Made in dark-stained timber, the piece evokes Victorian design. Cornices, panels, and carvings reflect traditional joinery. Yet the layout serves multiple modern needs.
By day, it functions as a reading area. At night, the sofa converts to a guest bed. The hidden lobby entrance is revealed through a concealed panel.
This unit reflects how custom furniture can create spatial value and narrative in compact interiors.
