Designed by LI Chuanyi & GUO Zhangle, this  lacquer circular box is made by the most ancient lacquer art techniques "tuo tai", combining Chinese rice paper and hemp cloth to create the form.  It is entirely handcrafted!   You can still fainly feel the texture of the hemp cloth.  
 
If you look closely, you will see a small red deer on the lacquerware, symobiolizing joy, innocence, and happiness. They are often regarded as symbols of longevity and prosperity. The deear also represents spirtuality, embodying respect for natural and harmony.  
 
This box contains three compartments which can be removable and be used seperately.
