A somewhat rustic, French-inspired cabinet, the Rene comes in two colorways: a natural cathedral-grained cerused oak and a light gray cerused oak. Bungalow 5's signature cerused oak process adds a white contrast to the fine details of a wood's grain, enhancing the beauty and delicate natural patterns of lumber. The wire grill evokes pastoral glamour, finished in gold. The coordinating brushed brass sabots, or furniture feet derived from the French word for shoe, further elevate the piece. The Rene cabinet is best used in a living room, dining room, entryway, or a large kitchen, holding your china, glasses, or bottles of wine, with 12.9-inch tall shelves that are large enough for carafes or decanters. The elegant, deceptively narrow side view is around 18.5 inches, while the overall height is around 42 inches, harkening back to old-world dining rooms of French estates, or picturesque European kitchens in a country home. Drawing from romantic, old-world design, the Rene cabinet is equally appropriate in a coastal Pied-à-Terre, southern home, or perched in front of an exposed brick wall in a Tribeca loft.
