Handcrafted Tansu from Plane-Spoken Furniture

Tansu is the beautiful and functional cabinetry indigenous to Japan—from simple kitchen cupboards with sliding doors to step chests that function both as storage and stairs.

Consider custom tansu to store clothing, to house media, and to organize your kitchen. Plane-Spoken also designs and builds platform beds, expanding the simple futon platform to include storage and nightstand options.

We are fortunate to be able to offer custom tansu hardware from chisler.net.
