Kists

Wooden Kists, Handcrafted in South Africa

A beautiful way to put things away. At Lighouse, every kist is handcrafted by skilled South African artisans using a durable SPF wood blend, chosen for its strength, warmth and beautiful natural grain. Generous and versatile, our kists bring real storage capacity to the home while adding a strong sense of character to the room.

Versatile Storage

Use a kist for blankets, linen, toys or the everyday things you'd rather keep out of sight. The hinged lid and generous interior make it one of the most practical storage pieces in the home, while the solid wood exterior means it's beautiful enough to sit proudly in any room.

Where to Use a Kist

At home at the foot of the bed, in a living room or in an entrance hall, a kist works wherever you need storage with personality. It's one of those pieces that earns its place in a home quickly and stays for a lifetime.

Customisation and Lead Times

All Lighouse furniture is made to order. Standard lead times are 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation, with delivery available across South Africa. If you need a specific size, please contact us before ordering and we'll let you know what's possible.

Care and Maintenance

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the wood's natural colour and finish.
