Product Story

Sometimes the most powerful statements come in compact forms. This thoughtfully-sized container proves that recycled steel can be both tough and tender, sculptural and practical. Born from discarded drums that once traveled the world, it now finds purpose holding treasures in your most personal spaces. Haitian artisans shaped every surface by hand, creating a hammered texture that plays with light and shadow while the modest proportions make it perfect for intimate settings. The integrated round handles aren't just functional—they're elegant punctuation marks that complete the design. This piece fits effortlessly into windowsills, side tables, or bathroom counters, bringing industrial beauty to everyday moments. The darkened patina whispers stories of transformation while the substantial feel reassures you of lasting quality. Whether cradling succulents, organizing small items, or simply existing as sculptural presence, this container adds depth and character wherever it lands.

This container is so cool! Love the hammered look, perfect for my succulents. Smaller than I thought but still fab.
