Description
The Large Bookbox is the biggest of our boxes, and easily holds your large piles of clutter – in your home and office space. Use it for pens, remote controls, handheld devices, notebooks, post-its, chargers, and anything else that takes up space and disturbs the eye, but which you need within immediate reach, or keep your most cherished belongings safe and stored perfectly.
The Box is our bestselling object and was the first of August Sandgren’s aesthetic boxes for storage. The box was originally named ‘The Bookbox’ as it takes its origin from the beautiful old bookboxes, in which people would place their most valuable books to take extra good care of them.
Initially our colour collection was made in cactus, saffron and terracotta selected by Josephine A Hoffmeyer and Elisa Ossino in 2021 for Salone del Mobile in Milan. For H+O's installation in Via Solferino. The response from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, and we have now made an even wider range of colours a part of our assortment. There is a colour for every mood, for every personality, for every room.
The Box is crafted in the most exquisite and soft OekoTex-certified leather and apart from the large size, it also comes in fusion and medium sizes.
