I am a Wrought-Iron Cutlery Box. I'll take care of your silverware both night and day.
This special piece is an exclusive collaboration between Nalata Nalata and metal artisan Takayoshi Narita. It comes in two materials, stainless steel and wrought-iron. The box was designed with the intention of creating large uninterrupted planes of texture. The scale is determined to showcase the beauty of Narita-san's materials and process, while also serving as a highly functional storage container that acquires new marks and patination with time and use.
The box is hand forged from wrought-iron through a process of hammering and firing multiple times in quick succession. The rich texture throughout is caused from the iron cooling at different rates after it's hammered, resulting in a unique finish. This box is perfect for storing delicate or occasional cutlery that needs better protection than a kitchen drawer.
