The original idea was developed by researching the metal inlay/overlay techniques what is represented in the Estonian archaeological material.

The bulk of thusly decorated objects are weapons and other artifacts what need to raise emotional or status level. These techniques did not often increase the physical endurance of the object, but due to its emotional value, a long durability appeared and object existing even after millenniums, which made them one of the most sustainable objects.

From the inspiration technique, I used the technique of combining metal and wood to create an object of long value, and something to protect other valuable objects. Our precious items need extra care and protection. Why not give them luxury and surround them with the value that they themselves are. Through such a connection, objects can be given even more emotional value, which gives them the ability to last longer.

Through this idea was born a small storage compartment in which you can store small valuable objects such as spare earrings or other emotional valuable artifacts. Natural materials build connection between user and nature. Thanks to the small size, wooden box can be built using in production residues.
