About the Item

For the collector in mind. This Modern crafted and absurdly over complicated design is just fantastic. One of a kind and beautifully executed, utilizing master joinery techniques. Having all the hallmarks of 1970.s art /design at its climax. Made from black walnut and inset cork details this sculpture has mounted gears on the outside if the box. When turing the crank the dowel pin releases the lock enabling you to open the top. Inside the box reveals a high pile carpet lining with ample storage for whatever you'd like. A video is included in this listing because you just have to see it to believe it. *Inside box dimensions 15'' W + D and 11'' H when closed.
