Perfect for both children and adults, the Jackanory by Timothy Ben Furniture, a design studio based in Britain and founded by Tim Forrester, is a contemporary cabinet that boasts a fun detail: a chalkboard panel. As though a complementary piece to his previous Matchbox Table, it brings a playfulness to an otherwise minimalist and mature furniture piece.
Taking on a locker-like style, the Jackanory by Timothy Ben Furniture is tall and long. Although the embedded chalkboard can be dismissed as childish addition, it actually serves a practical purpose as well. Great for notes to others or oneself, it replaces more typical whiteboards. It is available in 50 different colors to suit any living space.
