About the Item

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, polished stainless steel that forms the base, creating a dynamic visual contrast between the organic texture of the shagreen and the sleek, fluid lines of the steel. The polished stainless steel 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. *This item is on display in our LA showroom *Color variants may occur on the stingray and other exotic finishes *Clean with soft dry cloth About R&Y AUGOUSTI: R&Y Augousti, created by the visionary husband-and-wife duo Ria and Yiouri Augousti, epitomizes the pinnacle of luxurious, globally inspired design.
