Tsuga Wood Toolbox

Shinsuke Tanabe

• Introduction

  I am a Tsuga Wood Toolbox. With compartments below and a clip above, I organize both your tools and your thinking.

  
  

• Curator's Notes 

  This toolbox feels like it was designed by someone who actually makes things. Crafted from Tsuga wood, it has a warmth and grain that sets it apart from metal or plastic alternatives, but it’s the interior details that make it special. Inside the lid is a small metal clip, perfect for holding sketches, measurements, or the random scraps of paper makers are constantly jotting ideas on. Instead of losing them in a pile, you secure them right there. The removable tray and compartments allow tools to stack and slide neatly, adapting to whatever you’re working with.

  I can easily picture a jeweler friend storing tiny files and punches inside. Personally, I’d use it for sketching tools. It’s practical... not decorative, or nostalgic, just thoughtfully made for people who work with their hands
