We were recently commissioned by a client to design and build a decorative box as a birthday gift for their partner.
As it was for a birthday, my client thought it would be an interesting concept to play on the idea of a parcel that had been wrapped and packaged, so we created a design that embraces the randomness and geometric lines created by duct tape-wrapped parcels.
Each intricate inlaid strip has over 400 individually cut pieces (around 5mm wide) of African padauk and English maple to create these stunning complex patterns. The strips flow seamlessly around the sides of the box and are inlaid and sanded flush, leaving a silky-smooth surface. To maintain the highest level of quality I’ve used fine box brass hinges, which also compliments the stained black poplar perfectly.
