Built to Last – Solid Wood with a Brushed Finish
HAVSTA is made from solid pine, a durable natural material with a unique grain. The brushed surface treatment gives each piece a handcrafted, matte finish that brings out the wood's texture and makes every cabinet feel timeless and authentic. The muted color palette adds to the calm and classic feel.
Available Colors
HAVSTA comes in three main colors:
-
White – light and fresh, ideal for bright and airy rooms
-
Gray-beige – a warm, neutral tone perfect for cozy and elegant spaces
-
Dark brown-black – dramatic and bold, with a modern edge

Storage Units in the HAVSTA Series
HAVSTA is modular. You can build from the ground up, add height, or stretch units across an entire wall. Here are the key components:
Glass Door Cabinets
Tall or medium-height cabinets with clear glass doors let you display dishes, books, or collections while keeping everything protected from dust. These units work beautifully on their own or stacked on closed bases.

Closed Cabinets
Solid door cabinets provide concealed storage and serve as a base for taller combinations. They're ideal for storing games, linens, tech accessories, or anything else you'd prefer to keep hidden.
Open Shelf Units
The open shelving options in HAVSTA give your room a more relaxed feel. Use them for books, plants, or décor. Stack them with other components or use as standalone bookcases.

TV Units
The HAVSTA TV stand features sliding doors or drawers with glass fronts, and has plenty of space for media equipment. The low-profile design integrates perfectly into living room setups and pairs well with side units.

Sideboards and Buffets
HAVSTA sideboards provide a more horizontal storage solution. Great in dining rooms or entryways, they combine doors and drawers in a compact format and look beautiful with artwork or lighting placed on top.

Slide or Swing – Door Options
HAVSTA features both sliding and hinged doors. Sliding doors are practical in tight spaces and give the pieces a streamlined profile, while hinged doors add to the traditional cabinetry feel.

Why Choose HAVSTA
HAVSTA is ideal for anyone who loves traditional furniture with practical function. Its solid wood construction, elegant details, and wide range of combinations make it suitable for all kinds of rooms and styles. If you're looking for a series that feels custom-built yet accessible, HAVSTA delivers.
