Box Wenge Mustard for 22 pens by Atelier De Laforêt

Located in the Northern Vosges Regional Park, Atelier De Laforêt designs beautifully crafted products of exceptional quality. The brand has created this box set from wenge wood and tumbled cowhide leather.

Wenge wood: a noble and durable material

Also known as African rosewood, wenge is a species native to the tropical and equatorial regions of Africa, particularly the forests of Mozambique and the Congo Basin. With its very dark colour and remarkable density, it is distinguished by an irregular grain that, when cut, reveals a pattern of fine veins in varying shades of depth. Although highly durable, wenge is extremely hard and difficult to work with: sanding and polishing it requires long and meticulous work.

The leather adorning the lid of the box has been given its grain by passing through a fulling mill (a natural finish obtained by movement) rather than by printing, using beautiful, large, premium quality full-grain hides. These hides are manufactured by Tannerie Carriat, founded in 1927 and located in Espelette in the Basque Country. The colour palette and incomparable feel of the selected hides characterise the work of this long-established tannery.

The wood is dark brown and the leather is mustard yellow. Two small curved wooden handles allow you to open and close the two drawers. Each drawer can hold 11 pens of all sizes. A stopper secures the drawers when open, and two magnets keep them firmly closed. The brand has lined the interior with orange felt.
