Vakka | Bo-Åke Ljungars

An alder shaker box handmade in Malax, Finland, using a traditional technique of stitching thin bent wood together with spruce roots. The boxes are perfect for storing small objects, such as jewellery and stationery. They can also be used for food items.

The wood has a gentle oil treatment, which can initially have quite a distinct scent. However, it is natural and will fade with time. The box can be washed with warm water and a gentle soap.
