A diverse collection of 400 boxes that range from traditional to wildly contemporary A box is certainly not just a container--especially when some of today's top designers and craftspeople use their imagination and skill to explore its possibilities. Representing traditional woodworking techniques, such as joinery, carving, marquetry, and lathe turning, and incorporating a surprising variety of materials, these wonderful designs add a new twist to the fascinating interplay of form and function.
