Art with practical use – the wooden sculptural box by Laszlo Tompa

 

The Hungarian designer Laszlo Tompa presents this simple cube and leaves our imagination do the rest. The wooden sculptural box is crafted by woodturning and finished by hand. Its surface is covered with unique geometric ornaments.

Except using it for storage the idea of creating an item for daily use and turn it into a piece of abstract art is new and unusual. The cube is made of solid cherry wood and all the different figures on its surface seem to float and interact with each other without any visible holdings. The statuette is diagonally symmetrical, so the storage section can be covered with the lid and rotated 180 degrees. The elements create an optical illusion and although relatively small (40x40x40 cm) this cute wooden sculptural box by Laszlo Tompa has quite big storage space.

It is simply a must-have object and will be complimenting every contemporary living room. The wood sculptural box may find its place in your entry hall, beside your fireplace and even bedroom. Its natural warm colour will bring additional warmth in your home except that you will be in possession of a piece of modern art.
