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.
This white oak box conveys a certain solidity and simplicity typical of early colonial furniture, which was often made of this species or a close relative, red oak. White oak is typically deemed the more desirable species for its color, strength, and contrast due to the ray flecks which appear when the wood is quarter sawn at the mill after it comes down. The VR/AR model is meant to convey size and general color properties, and may not precisely match the box on sale.
