Maiwa East
Design Studio


The featured piece this week is a teak office box. This is a larger version of the teak cash box, which would be used by merchants in a small shop or stall. The box could be easily carried to the market on market day. This version has inlay brass corner pieces and is very solid. The wood shows a beautiful warm finish. The interior features a number of small compartments and a removable tray which permits access to the interior of the chest. This is a great piece for storing trinkets, a special collection of coins, shells, pens, or documents. It can also be used as a writing table when sitting on the floor. The box shown is about two feet long by one foot wide.

Each piece of furniture at Maiwa East is unique. All have personality. The featured piece of the week is an example of the variety that we carry. Containers arrive on a regular basis so check back often to find the one that is right for you or your special space.
