Behind the Design
The Colours of St Ives
We miss walking along the coastline in St Ives, Cornwall in the winter. Standing on Porthwidden Beach, looking out to sea and taking in the changing horizon. Our family has returned to St Ives many times and we love the colour & light in all seasons.
We’ve tried to capture the colours of St Ives in the Formica lift-off lids of our boxes. Lichen covered slate roofs, the whitewashed walls of Barbara Hepworth’s Studio. The endless grey stormy seascapes.
Our boxes which are lightweight, sturdy, and practical and come in 2 sizes. Designed to be interlocking and stackable. As well as being flexible, portable storage, these boxes can double up as a seat, bedside table, or a step. To view the full range of plywood storage boxes click here
