Wooden Box Squirrel

A Traditionally Wood-carved Box in Timeless Scandinavian Design

Store your treasures and memorabilia in a wooden box. The box is perfect for storing jewellery, keys, small stationery and other miscellaneous items. The box is ornamental but with a low-key expression that brings a natural decorative element displayed on your bookshelf, desk or bedside table.

Our wooden boxes are genuine craft pieces whose material has a unique character and feel. And we produce each piece in a way that allows them to age beautifully. Their hand-carved exterior creates a beautiful surface texture that amplifies the natural feel of the material.

About the Piece

Artisans craft our wooden boxes from cherry wood, a fast-growing deciduous hardwood that grows in tall, dense clusters. It boasts a warm reddish hue with striking variations in its dark grain patterns, accentuated by dark "spots" formed by resin pockets.

The artisans craft the boxes entirely from wood using a method inspired by traditional shrink pots. This approach utilises the wood's natural contraction during the drying process. Notably, they join the box's components without using nails or screws to accommodate the wood's natural flexibility under varying humidity conditions.

A skilfully wood-carved squirrel adorns the top of the rounded box, serving as a tactile knob for opening the container.

The box comes treated with wood oil, and we recommend that you rejuvenate the oil occasionally.

Handmade Wooden Boxes from Wildlife Garden

We love creating beautiful homeware–especially items with functionality. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, we, together with our designers and artisans, created a series of charming wooden boxes. Each box has a unique expression where the artisanal skill shines through, giving personality to each piece.
