Cassia Cream Checkered Box with Gray Striated Tiles

A cream box with gray striated squares and a square lid handle, to hold small items in a quiet, textured case.

Cassia is a rectangular lidded box with cream tiles interrupted by gray squares with fine striations, and a small square handle in a matching gray on the lid. The lid lifts off to show a warm brown interior, so the box holds remotes, jewelry or cards and works as a textured accent.

At 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 4 inches high, it is a larger box that suits a coffee table or credenza. The soft tones suit Scandinavian, coastal and transitional rooms and work in an office, a hotel suite or a boutique.

Planning notes

Place the box on a tray or on a stack of books. The square lid handle is small, so lift the lid with two fingers and set it down flat on a soft surface.

Pair with natural wood, linen and brass for a calm palette. The gray squares vary a little in pattern from box to box. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of damp areas and direct sun so the tones stay even. In a living room, set the box on a coffee table beside a candle and a stack of books for a layered arrangement. In a hotel suite, a box on the writing desk gives guests a place for pens and notepads. The square handle matches the gray squares, so the lid looks finished from every angle.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for heavy loads: use it for small items, not as a stand for heavy objects.

Care

Dust with a soft dry cloth and spot clean the outside with a barely damp one. Do not soak or submerge.
