This handcrafted jewelry cabinet, measuring 65x35 cm, is a reflection on the paradox of beauty. Crafted from oak and olive ash, the exterior features a sober, elegant design with a tree-like inlay that subtly hints at the beauty within. Inside, the cabinet reveals a sophisticated interior with dedicated compartments and a set of small drawers, adorned with marquetry that brings the outer buds to full bloom. This contrast between the cabinet's modest exterior and the blossoming interior speaks to the idea that true beauty lies beneath the surface, offering a philosophical reflection on the relationship between inner and outer beauty, even as it holds the jewelry we use to adorn ourselves.
