Reading in the Mirror (in French)

This sumptuous leather-like chest borrows from geometry, its octagonal curves and from The Officine, its illustrious colours. Its very urban purpose is that of serving a precious art: that of giving.   A true reflection of joy, selecting the perfect gift is as delightful as receiving it. The beauty of the chest, makes it a gift in itself, in the service of the gift inside.   A synesthetic object par excellence, the Octagonal Chest of the Officine appeals to all the senses: the eye marvels at the sumptuous colours, the hands explore the subtle relief of the gold lettering, and the herbal scent lingers until the sacred moment of opening. An olfactory apotheosis! One, two, three... or an infinite number of treasures are revealed, tenderly aligned on their bed of crinkle paper.   GREAT BENEFITS Once the moment of gifting has passed, the chest transforms into an elegant piece of interior decoration, as beautiful to gaze at as it is practical to use: a chest for small and great secrets, a box for delicate linens or treasured letters. Wherever it stands, it remains a memorable ornament whose sole ambition is to enhance the room where it resides.
