Mimosa Layered Horn Box in Natural Tones

A box with a layered, scale-like surface in natural tan and gray, to hold small items and add texture to a table.

Mimosa is a rectangular decorative box with a layered, overlapping surface in warm tan, gray and brown tones. The textured top and sides give a console, desk or coffee table a natural, tactile accent, and the box holds small items such as keys, jewelry or remotes.

At 8.7 inches wide, 6.8 inches deep and 3.5 inches high, it is a mid-size box that fits a shelf or tray. Because horn is a natural material, each box has its own color and pattern, which suits transitional, rustic and modern rooms.

Planning notes

Pair it with wood, linen and woven baskets for a natural palette. Place it on a tray to protect furniture from the textured edges.

Because each box is a natural material, color and pattern will differ from the photo. Keep it out of direct sun and away from damp areas. The layered surface collects dust, so use a soft brush to clean between the layers. On a console, set it beside a ceramic lamp and a small branch in a vase for a natural vignette. In a hotel or boutique, it can hold small items at a desk or counter. The box has some weight and a firm shape, but handle it with both hands and lift it from the sides to protect the layered surface.

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.
