Lidded box/sculpture

Lidded box/sculpture
Stained American Walnut
Limited edition of 100

A wooden storage box with a lid. A cube is seamlessly covered with three different bodies of revolution that engage in each other, thereby producing a powerful, geometrical design sculpture. The decorating elements create an optical illusion—one would not think at first sight that the box contains a relatively large storage space.
