Masashi Ifuji works from his studio in Matsumoto, Japan, creating objects with a form-meets-function philosophy. For this large maple wood box, he utilises the templates and techniques used by 18th-century American Shaker communities. The style was once used for storing sewing supplies and dried goods, but thanks to its beautifully curved shape, it can be used for anything and everything – display purposes included. Ifuji finishes each piece with an exterior coating (beeswax or flaxseed oil-based) while the interior remains unfinished to take advantage of the natural humidity control of the wood.
