A minimalist box that brings enjoyment from a glance as well as thorough use. Only six pieces of wood are involved in its construction — the absolute minimum for a rectangular box — and while the joinery itself is deceptively simple, its exposure along the edges of the box draws the eye in to linger in the space between detail and overall form. The opening appears as a moment along the trajectory of these long faces, materializing in our presence before disappearing again at the edges of the piece.
Pictured below in wenge, this box feels incredibly dense and solid without being cumbersome or heavy. Wenge is the darkest wood I used in this run of boxes over the summer, and is an exotic species native to central Africa. As it is listed as an endangered species, this wood is only harvested from trees which have fallen because of natural causes, like extreme weather. The VR/AR model is meant to convey size and general color properties, and may not precisely match the box on sale.
