Anton Gerner — 'Angle Side Box’, in Blackbean and Quilted Myrtle

This Angle Side Box features a lid panel of Quilted Myrtle, and its sides are crafted from solid Blackbean. Designed to hold A4 papers, the angle-side box is a modern, angled design that features brass hinges and black inlaid corner details with a finger recess around the lid for opening. The lid, which stays open at 95º, is made from a unique Australian timber veneer offcut saved over two decades of making furniture. Leather offcuts from our furniture upholstery are used for the lining – colours may change depending on availability.
