Each Anasi Round Box is carved by hand and then marbled with a paper-decorating method that dates to the 1400s, which lays down slow, drifting veins across the grain. The two boxes in the set stack on a coffee table or step along a console, closing over whatever you would rather not look at. Lift a lid and the storage is plain and useful, which is more than a solid object on a shelf can offer. Mid-century in feel, the pair settles into a living room, a bedroom, or a home office without dating the room around it.
