Lacquer Boxes from Around the World
Lacquer boxes - a lovely storage option - range widely in design and price. The one above comes from Russia and is quite expensive - but stunning. But the Tradestone Gallery has many boxes in a huge range of styles and prices - along with a nice guide to Russian lacquer boxes.
Lacquerware is also found in many parts of Asia; I have a small box I got in Vietnam. Gumps sells these square eggshell lacquer boxes from Japan.
The lacquer jar shown above was made by artist Subin Tositarat of Thailand. He also has an eggshell lacquer box.
And here's a lacquered box from Mexico.
I don't know where these Mondrian-inspired boxes were made, but they sure are eye-catching! [via Apartment Therapy]
My FAVORITE novica product for organization are these gorgeous, sturdy ottomans with hidden storage: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pID=111381
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my small apartment.
MentatJack, that URL doesn't work.I think you mean this ottoman.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote about storage ottomans a while ago, and missed finding the ones from Novica. I'll have to do an update!
