Description
This storage box is made entirely of soapstone, base and lid alike, and measures 15cm long, 10cm wide and 7.5cm tall, with a capacity of 650ml. The grey stone is veined throughout. The top of the lid is textured with a grid of raised, rough-faced squares that gives the piece a quietly rugged character. At 1.81KG it is heavy for its size, so it sits firmly wherever you put it and stays steady when you lift the lid. Soapstone is a natural stone, and its veining differs from one block to the next.
A 650ml box is a practical size for the small things that otherwise wander around a home. On a dressing table it keeps rings, earrings and a watch together; in the hallway it gathers keys and coins; on a desk it holds paper clips and memory sticks. It is approved for food contact, so it also earns a place on the kitchen counter, holding sea salt, sugar cubes or tea bags within reach of the kettle. As a lidded stone box it suits a bathroom shelf too, for cotton buds and hair ties, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes natural materials.
Base and lid are both 100% soapstone with a polished finish. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so clean it by hand. Soapstone is a relatively soft stone and can mark if dragged across a hard surface, so lift it rather than slide it. For styling, pair it with a ribbed vase and a short stack of books on a dark console, where its textured lid sits well beside other tactile surfaces; on a marble shelf its veining shows at its clearest.
