Thuja Wood Lidded Box with Brass-Tone Trim

A wood box with thin metal trim and a black lining, to keep small items organized on a desk or dresser.

Thuja is a rectangular lidded box with a patchwork wood surface, thin brass-tone trim along the lid and body, and a black interior. The raised wood handle on the lid sits in a trapezoid shape and gives the box a modern, architectural look.

At 8 inches wide, 5 inches deep and 3 inches high, it holds jewelry, watches, cards or remotes. It suits a desk, nightstand or console in a modern or transitional room, and it works on a hotel desk or boutique counter.

Planning notes

The box works well with other low items on a tray or stack of books. Because the surface is a patchwork of wood pieces, no two boxes are the same, which gives the group a natural look.

Pair it with brass candlesticks or a black lamp and keep it away from direct sun. The black lining keeps small items from showing through gaps and makes them easy to find. In an office, a Thuja box on a credenza gives visitors a quiet place to leave cards or keys. In a hotel suite, a box on the desk is a clear spot for guests to store small valuables. The brass-tone trim catches lamp light, so a spot near a window or lamp shows the most detail.

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.
