Mnemos_01

Asymptote explore the beauty of apparent fluidity with these three seemingly molten gold boxes. A specialist Parisian atelier, drawing on the tradition of Napoleonic bôites d’or, crafted these eloquent explorations of form and geometry.

Mnemos_01, a pillbox, is made of solid gold. It opens on nearly invisible hinges with the lightest pressure applied to a discrete point. The covers open to reveal an ornately hand-engraved interior, a masterful conjunction of sumptuous detail and articulated precision.
