On the corner of the desk a gentle, vintage-feel little box — home to travel mementoes, letters or the dearest notes. The 8.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm size is just big enough to hide a small treasure, and just small enough to fit anywhere. The atlas pattern, with its soft yellow-brown tones and fine geographical details, returns that old-maps-and-journeys atmosphere that is so characteristic of the colonial style.
The experience it offers
The vintage atlas pattern evokes the atmosphere of old geographical atlases: the fine contours, the soft land masses and the subtle typographical hints add a quiet, atmospheric detail to a shelf or to the corner of a desk. The motif on the lid creates a delicate contrast with the solid form, and the MDF base is stable and durable. The size is just right to hide a small bundle of letters, a few keepsakes or a slim journal under the lifting lid.
What you can keep inside
- Old letters, postcards, messages
- Small jewellery, rings, earrings
- Travel mementoes (a coin, a ticket, a small pebble)
- A memory note or a slim notebook
- Small meditation tools, a card deck
How to fit it into the atmosphere of a room
The colonial style shows itself most beautifully when paired with objects of similar character: books, a candle, an old picture frame or a wooden tray. A quiet corner of a desk, the second shelf of a bookcase, a window sill — all offer a place where the box settles atmospherically. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient; strong chemicals are best avoided.
