Italian box made of metal, plastic and wooden interior, 80s

Description

In the 1980s, Italian design boldly explored the contrast between industrial materials and sophisticated finishes. This box is a perfect illustration of this: a compact, graphic piece with a discreet yet assertive presence.

The structure combines a deep black plastic body with a subtly ribbed, textured metal lid, elegantly integrated into the handle. The interior reveals a warm wood veneer, precisely compartmentalized, creating a refined dialogue between modernist rigor and a sense of decorative detail. The craftsmanship demonstrates the meticulous attention to detail in the joinery and finishing, characteristic of Italian production of this period.

The condition is very good. The surfaces show a light patina of use consistent with age, without significant alteration, retaining all its original luster.

It measures 12 cm on each side and 3.5 cm in height, an ideal size to hold jewelry, cards or small precious objects.

A functional and sculptural piece, perfect on a desk, console or integrated into a collection of 80s Italian design.
