About the Artisan Oak and Glass Front
The front of this wardrobe is the reason to buy it. Rather than simply alternating oak doors with glass ones, Artemis glazes across all three sliding doors and lets the Artisan Oak appear as a vertical band at each outer edge – so the glass runs almost the full 271cm, framed by wood at either end. The centre door is glass from top to bottom; the two outer doors carry the same glass with an oak section at the outside. Slide the doors and the oak moves with them, shifting the balance of the front as you use it.
It is a more sophisticated piece of design than most wardrobes at this price attempt, and it solves a real problem. A 271cm front in a single material becomes a wall. Alternating whole doors of wood and glass looks blocky. This does neither – the glass reads as one broad, continuous plane with the oak holding the edges, and the horizontal panel divisions running across each door give it a quiet rhythm rather than a blank expanse.
Artisan Oak is a mid-toned wood effect with pronounced grain and genuine knot detail – warm, textural, and clearly a wood rather than a wood-coloured surface. Framed against a large area of smooth glass, that texture is exactly what stops the wardrobe looking cold or corporate.
The glass is yours to specify, and the three options take the piece in genuinely different directions.
Champagne Glass is the warmest and the most cohesive. A pale, faintly golden tone sits in the same family as the oak, so wood and glass relate rather than contrast – the wardrobe reads as one considered piece with a change of texture across it. It is the option shown here, and for most rooms the best-looking of the three.
White Glass is the brightest and the crispest. Clean white against warm oak is a sharper, more contemporary pairing, and across a front this size it lifts the light in the room considerably. In a smaller or north-facing bedroom this is the option that does most for the space.
Basalt Glass is the boldest. A deep, near-black graphite against warm oak is a strong, high-contrast composition – dramatic and architectural, best in a room with light to spare and a restrained palette elsewhere.
Whichever you choose, these are genuine glass fronts rather than a printed or foiled panel. Glass has an evenness and depth that no coating reproduces, and it holds that appearance permanently – it will not scuff at the edges and will not shift in tone over years of daylight. Across a wardrobe this size, that difference is the most visible thing about it.
Sliding doors are close to essential at 271cm. A hinged wardrobe of the same width needs the better part of a metre of clear floor before a door can open; this needs none, which makes it workable in a room where the bed sits opposite or a doorway limits the space. The Artemis runs on a smooth-glide system, and at 62cm deep – deeper than the hinged models in the range – garments hang square on the rail rather than pressing against the doors.
Internally the wardrobe divides into three equal 90cm compartments, each with a storage shelf and a hanging rail. Three separate hanging sections is a more usable arrangement than one long run: two people sharing can take a compartment each, with the third given over to bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing. The interior is deliberately open rather than heavily fitted, so you can build it out with additional shelves, hanging rails, interior drawers and compartment dividers if you need them.
At 210cm high this fits a standard modern bedroom without needing a specialist ceiling height. Made in Germany as part of the Rauch Orange range and backed by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
Artemis is also produced as a 2 door sliding wardrobe, available in 181cm and 226cm widths, with the same oak and glass front. If you would prefer a lighter surround, the range is also made with a White carcase at this width.
Matching bedroom furniture is available from the same collection: 2 and 3 drawer bedside tables, a 4 drawer narrow chest, a 4 drawer wide chest, and a 5 drawer chest with two smaller drawers above three larger ones.

FAQs
How are the oak and glass arranged across the doors?
The centre door is glass from top to bottom. The two outer doors are also glazed, with an Artisan Oak section at the outer edge of each – so the glass runs almost the full width of the wardrobe with oak framing it at either end, rather than alternating whole doors of wood and glass.
Which glass colour should I choose?
Champagne is the warmest and sits closest to the oak, giving the most cohesive result. White is the brightest and crispest, and does most for a smaller or north-facing room. Basalt is a deep near-black and the boldest of the three, best in a room with plenty of light.
Is it real glass?
Yes. The fronts are genuine glass, not a printed or foiled panel. Glass gives an evenness and depth a coated surface cannot reproduce, and across a wardrobe this size that difference is the most visible thing about it. It will not scuff at the edges or shift in tone over time.
Is Artisan Oak solid wood?
Artisan Oak is a wood-effect finish with pronounced grain and knot detail. It is dimensionally stable in a centrally heated bedroom, needs no treatment, and will not develop the shrinkage gaps solid timber can across a wardrobe of this width.
How deep is it?
62cm, which is deeper than the hinged wardrobes in the Artemis range. The additional depth is what allows garments to hang square on the rail without pressing against the sliding doors.
Why choose sliding doors at this width?
A hinged wardrobe of 271cm needs close to a metre of clear floor in front of it before a door can open. Sliding doors need none, which makes a wardrobe this size workable in a room where the bed sits opposite or a doorway limits the available space.
How is the wardrobe divided inside?
Into three equal 90cm compartments, each with one storage shelf and one hanging rail. The interior is deliberately open, so you can build it out with the optional accessories to suit your own storage.
Can I add more to the interior?
Yes. Additional shelves, hanging rails, interior drawers and compartment dividers are all available as optional extras and can be selected when you place your order.
What delivery options are available?
Free delivery is to your door across England, Wales and Scotland – our drivers will not take the wardrobe into the house. Room of choice delivery is available at additional cost, where the wardrobe is brought to the room you specify, and full assembly is available at additional cost, where our professional fitters build the unit in your chosen room. On a wardrobe of this size the assembly service is worth considering. In Northern Ireland the wardrobe is supplied with our delivery and assembly service rather than standard delivery.
How long will it take to arrive?
Dispatch is 8 to 10 weeks. This is a dispatch timeframe rather than a delivery date: the wardrobe is built to your specification in Germany and then shipped to the UK. Occasionally items arrive sooner, and during German factory holiday closures it can take slightly longer.
Is it available in other sizes?
Yes. Artemis is also produced as a 2 door sliding wardrobe in 181cm and 226cm widths.
Is it available with a different carcase?
Yes. The range is also made with a White carcase, with the same choice of champagne, basalt or white glass fronts.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order by Rauch to your selected specification, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected glass finish carefully before ordering.
What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms.
Is there matching bedroom furniture?
Yes. The Artemis collection includes 2 and 3 drawer bedside tables, a 4 drawer narrow chest, a 4 drawer wide chest, and a 5 drawer chest with two smaller drawers above three larger ones.
How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
