Product description
This is a unique metal box in a distinctive Brutalist style, originating from Portugal. Its most striking feature is the lid with its rough, almost organic texture, which makes a strong visual statement.
The two-part box is made of dark-colored metal and consists of a smooth base and a heavy, textured sliding lid. Inside, you'll find an inscription revealing its origin: 'Fundo de Fomento e de Propaganda do Café', the historical Portuguese coffee fund. This makes it an interesting collector's item, originally produced as a luxury corporate gift.
The object is in good condition consistent with its age, with an authentic patina that enhances its character. The contrast between the rough, sculptural exterior and the functional, smooth interior is what makes this piece so special.
This box is a perfect accent for a desk, sideboard, or open cabinet. It adds a touch of industrial and historical texture to a modern, minimalist, or eclectic interior.
