Get artisan style for less with the new Next Agra furniture collection

published 22 June 2019

In a world of mass-production, we all seek to find those little gems that will make our homes feel unique. After all, who wants to walk into their neighbour's house to find exactly the same set of furniture as ours? Not us!

If you're a champion of unique style, but don't have time to riffle through antique shops or trawl eBay for one-off pieces, say hello to Next's brand new Agra furniture collection. Each piece is crafted in solid mango wood, featuring hand-painted and hand-printed details.

Made up from an array of different colours and wood grains, every one is different - hooray! The wood varieties will also naturally develop over time to add character and charm to your furniture.

Here are a few of our favourites from the Next Agra furniture collection...

Agra side table

This handy side table features a patchwork of gorgeous grains, including tongue-and-groove panelling and an on-trend geometric design. There's even a hidden cupboard space underneath for extra storage - perfect for next to the sofa or by the bed.

Agra chest

This clever three-drawer chest of drawers is a real statement piece with its apothecary-style good looks and multi-wood fascia. We'd expect to see this in a high-end boutique, rather than your local Next. Impressed or what?
