Its low and elongated silhouette, its curved lid and its simple fittings evoke the discreet elegance of well-made tools, both robust and imbued with a gentle industrial melancholy. Main characteristics: Materials and finishes: Entirely made of solid wood, this box is distinguished by its worn blue paint, oscillating between bluish black and lighter reflections depending on the light. The original metal handles show natural oxidation which reinforces the raw character of the object. The interior, left raw or blackened by time, houses a removable compartmentalized tray, ideal for organizing small tools, papers or collectibles. Design: The lid, hinged by solid metal hinges, follows a curved line uncommon for this type of piece. The central handle in aged leather, firmly riveted, testifies to the itinerant use of this box, undoubtedly intended for a craftsman or a traveling worker. Dimensions: Height: 18 cm - Width: 81 cm - Depth: 32 cm A utilitarian vestige with strong decorative value This piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer See less
