Ex Forti l Bruto Dark – Brown Box

A clever synthesis of architectural references, this superb box features a sturdy, parallelepiped-shaped wooden structure marked by a repeated tectonic texture – an homage to Brutalism – that gets enhanced by the prized, dark-brown Nubuck leather that fully envelops it as a classy suit. The jewel-like brass knob allows the lid to be lifted to reveal the inner orange lacquer, while suggesting an elegant reference to the architecture of the Yale University Art Gallery by Louis Kahn.
