Divided horizontally into two equal parts, the top half of this box is Sycamore and the bottom half is London plane. Two equal sheets of black and white ‘ColorCore’ (solid core laminate by ‘Formica’) are bonded to the top of the box in another 50-50 arrangement. The inside walls of the bottom half are lined with Sycamore and the base and top are lined with light grey leather.

For the exterior of the box, nothing more than a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth, followed by a polish with a dry cloth, should ever be necessary. Ideally, keep out of direct sunlight.
I’ve always been into squares, and I like the simplicity of two equal parts. In essence, that’s what this box is all about. ColorCore is thicker than the plastic laminates most of us are familiar with and the colour is solid throughout its thickness so one can celebrate the edge of the material as a design feature. Sycamore is beautiful for its light colour and even grain. London plane by contrast, can be alluring and often exquisite.
