A piece so understated yet rich in visuals that it appears at times like an optical illusion. Complement the natural elements of your home with the wood-inspired design of the Veneer Glass Box from Alessi. It's a piece by Patricia Urquiola, a designer whose work strikes a balance between the familiar and the unexplored. Urquiola's curious and always observant personality reflects in the way it captures the feel and looks of wood. Its steel and tinplate cap give a subtle sensation of wood as its flowing design is embossed. The metallic luster amplifies the vein-like design with a touch of shine. This shine complements that of the clear glass container below, an elegant vessel for showcasing your items.

Alessi, known as the Italian design factory, has manufactured household products since 1921. The stylish and fun items offered are the result of contemporary partnerships with some of the world's best designers of unique and modern home accessories.
