Mnemos_03, the largest box of the series, is a jewellery box in vermeil. The sides pivot open to reveal a nested puzzle of seven single and double height compartments made of satinwood. Prized in the 18th century, this fine-grained wood is polished to a deep golden glow. The compartments are fitted with perfect pillows of contrasting kid-leather. Fluid and form rush together in these reinventions of the boites d’or.
