Description
The Cannes XII 2 Door Sliding Wardrobe 140cm is a 140cm wide, 205cm tall sliding wardrobe with a front you will recognise from across the room: two flat sliding doors, each carrying a set of slim black vertical strips of different lengths. The strips line up across the doors when they are closed, so the front reads as one graphic pattern rather than separate panels. It comes in Oak Artisan, White Matt or Black Matt, all at the same price of £506.99.
At 140cm it is the step up for one person who has outgrown a narrow wardrobe, or a guest room that needs proper hanging space. The extra width all goes into the hanging section, which is the part that runs out first. Because the doors slide along a track rather than swinging out, nothing needs to be kept clear in front of it, which matters when a bed, a radiator or a chest of drawers sits close to the wardrobe wall.
The design
Cannes is Arte-N’s sliding wardrobe family, and the number tells you the door pattern. Cannes I has plain doors; Cannes XII adds the black strip set you see in the photos. Arte-N describe the strips as self-mounting: you fix them to the door faces yourself once the wardrobe is built, which also means you decide how high each one sits. The carcass is framed with a slim black edge and the doors run in black tracks, so the strips tie in with the frame on every finish.
- Oak Artisan is a warm, knotty oak effect. The black strips stand out most here, and it sits well with wooden floors.
- White Matt is the lightest option for a small or north-facing room; the strips give it a sharper, more graphic look.
- Black Matt is the quiet version: the strips read as a texture rather than a contrast, and it suits a dark feature wall.
Inside the wardrobe
Behind the doors, Arte-N’s drawing shows a hanging bay of roughly 87cm on the left (worked out from the overall width; Arte-N’s drawing for this size repeats the 120cm figures) and a 47.5cm column of shelves on the right. The hanging bay has one rail with about 137cm of drop below it, which takes long coats, midi dresses and suits without folding; there is a 30cm shelf above the rail for bags or spare bedding and a 30cm space below the hanging for shoes or a laundry basket. The shelf column has compartments about 39cm high, which suits folded jumpers, jeans and towels. In total there are six shelves and one hanging rail, and the shelves are about 48cm deep.
With two sliding doors, one door always covers part of the interior, so you open one side at a time: slide the right door left to reach the shelves, and the left door right to reach the hanging. That is normal for a two-door slider and is the trade-off for not needing any swing space.
Some of Arte-N’s open-door photos are shot without the doors for clarity. Drawers are not included; Arte-N sell internal drawer units as an optional extra, and the price here is for the wardrobe as described below.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Cannes XII 140cm wardrobe?
It is 140cm wide, 60cm deep and 205cm high. The doors slide, so it needs no space in front to open, but your ceiling needs to be at least 2.15m to stand it up after assembly.
Do the black strips come fitted?
No. Arte-N describe them as self-mounting, so you fix them to the doors yourself after the wardrobe is built. That lets you follow the pattern in the photos or place them your own way. If you would rather have plain doors, Arte-N’s Cannes I is the same wardrobe without strips.
Will long coats and dresses fit?
Yes, most will. The single rail has about 137cm of drop, which takes long coats, suits and midi dresses. Floor-length gowns longer than that would need to be folded over the rail.
Are drawers included?
No. The wardrobe comes with six shelves and one hanging rail. Arte-N offer internal drawers as a separate extra; they are not part of this listing.
How much is it and how long is delivery?
All three finishes are £506.99. Arte-N currently quote 4 to 6 weeks, and delivery is free to mainland England and mainland Wales, including Anglesey.
