Modern Box in White Shagreen with Bronze Patina Brass by R&Y Augousti
-
Description
The "Melting Box" by R&Y Augousti is a masterful creation, combining luxurious materials and elegant design into a functional work of art. The top of the box is meticulously crafted from white shagreen, offering a textured, tactile experience that enhances its sophisticated appeal. This rich, exotic material is beautifully offset by the smooth, bronze patina brass that forms the base, creating a dynamic visual contrast between the organic texture of the shagreen and the sleek, fluid lines of the brass. The brass is shaped in a unique "melting" effect, giving the piece a sense of movement and contemporary artistry that elevates it beyond the ordinary. Inside, the box is lined with a fine wood veneer, adding warmth and refinement to its interior. Every detail of this hand-crafted piece speaks to the high level of craftsmanship and artistry that R&Y Augousti is renowned for. Whether used as a functional storage box or as a decorative piece, the Melting Box is a symbol of understated luxury and modern sophistication, perfect for the discerning collector.
This box is available in other finishes.
