| Metal boxes by SyuRo |
Japanese brand
SyuRo produces everyday objects in wood, brass, copper, or tin, handcrafted by local artisans in Japan. Its aim is "to create simple items that will someday become antiques, through traditional techniques that rely on human warmth and love, so that the final objects evoke art rather than industry". The sanded finishes of the wooden items are warm to the touch, and the metals used are chosen because of the way they will age.
