This refined and sophisticated modernist box was realized by the celebrated Parisian design firm R&Y Agousti. It features a bifurcated white elm compartment wrapped in parchment in an antique bone hue. The cover is swathed in snakeskin of the same hue, offering four connected panels on top as well as smaller sections wrapping around the sides- a testament to the fact that no detail was overlooked in this piece's construction. With its luxurious materials and impeccable construction, this piece is not only a perfectly functional box, ideal for storing any number of personal items- but an objet d'art in its own right that promises to beautify any surface that it graces.

Their flagship store is located on the famed Rue Du Bac in 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.
