Description

The Superellipse box made of oak is one of those objects in which Piet Hein’s design philosophy remains evident to this day. The characteristic superellipse – once developed by him as a harmonious middle ground between a circle and a rectangle – forms the basis for a design that combines the clarity of Scandinavian design with a subtle poetic touch.

The oak brings warmth to the precise lines. Its natural grain ensures that each box is unique, characterised by subtle shades and a calm, dignified aura. The shape fits comfortably in the hand and has a modern yet understated effect in the room – an object that has presence without demanding attention.

As a storage box for jewellery, small everyday items or as a solitary detail on a sideboard or bedside table, it creates order without appearing functional – and atmosphere without being decorative. It was precisely this restraint that was typical of Piet Hein: his work aimed to refine everyday life, not to exaggerate it.

The Superellipse box shows how timeless an idea can be when it is formulated precisely and with an eye for the essentials.
An object that makes rooms quieter, clearer and a little more beautiful.
