Wooden boxes

 

Box -Key

 

TThis box with curved shapes highlights the natural lines of the wood
and pivots to reveal space for a precious key.

This box, topped with a finely carved rose,
features three interior compartments.

 

 

 

Box - Horsham

 

The Horsham marquetry box symbolizes
the link that unites two communities on opposite sides of the world.
It is crafted from ash-olive wood, walnut, and sapele.

Local artisans, as well as several residents, helped bring this project to life.

The top features a checkerboard pattern adorned with a handcrafted medallion
depicting a dove — a symbol of peace.

It opens to reveal a lectern bearing the inscriptions
“Vignacourt 1914” and “Horsham 2016”,
with the words “Peace”, “Pax”, and “Paix”,
evoking the hardships of the First World War, the restoration of peace,
and the exchanges that took place one hundred years later.

Inside are two signature books,
crafted by an art bookbinder
using traditional bookbinding techniques,
along with a finely carved wooden quill.

In 2014, young residents of Vignacourt, accompanied by Mrs. Lucile Werkin,
took part in planting a tree in Horsham,
reflecting their commitment to remembrance and the transmission of memory.

Horsham, a rural town on the banks of the Wimmera River in the state of Victoria,
is linked to the story of the Australian soldier Robert Edward Charles.
Several soldiers from this region are buried in Vignacourt,
further strengthening this historical connection.

 

 

 

Box - Game

Several wood species were used to create this limited-edition box. It was assembled using mortise-and-tenon joinery. The interlaced hearts and crosses in the marquetry are symbols of the Yotoy company, which designed this new board game.
