Auerberg - Treasure Box 1

Each one is surrounded by treasures, memories, figures of the models of trains. All these treasures are mostly forgotten somewhere. I wanted to give them their value back. Enzo Mari designed the “wonder box” once, I liked it. But I didn’t want to design a system, but a single box. Fortunately I visited Christoph in that time. Six weeks later he came back with the first prototype, explained James Irvine about the creation and function of the Treasure Box.

The rest: perfect handicraft work, clear, untreated ash-wood, no screws, therefore a cover which is hanged over the boxes and moved laterally.

Design: James Irvine

James Irvine studied at the Royal College of Design in London. He founded his studio in Milan in 1984 where he works for companies such as Alias, Artemide, Thonet, Cappellini, Mercedes Benz, Muji and WMF. Designer James Irvine
