Hanging Metal Storage Box

Hanging Metal Storage Box – No.107783

The design for this piece traces back to a small flea market stall in a suburb of Boston, where the wall of a tent was covered entirely in flowers. Among them hung an unusual pot, constructed from mismatched plates of tin, pieced together in a way that felt both raw and intentional. When asked about its origins, the vendor explained it had been fashioned from discarded water wheel parts at a factory—its wire hooks and layered joints still bearing witness to that history.

That unexpected beauty of renewal stayed with us. Today, the form has been reimagined in India, where artisans craft each storage box from recycled steel. Every piece carries the marks of handwork and material memory—scratches, seams, and patina that speak to many lifetimes lived. Designed to hang with ease, it’s a box that embodies function, history, and the quiet joy of giving purpose back to what once was.
