Genkan storage box

The Genkan storage box, by Naoto Fukasawa, is part of a collection of hallway pieces designed to enrich the regular ritual we perform upon departing home and returning home from the world outside. The ritual usually involves looking into a mirror, leaving coins, keys and other objects.///Description
Genkan, meaning hallway in Japanese, resembles an archaic Bosnian word “ganjak” (reads ganyak), which means hall or corridor that leads towards the entrance door. Genkan box is reminiscent of a shell from the depths of sea, a shell that hides our pearls, keys and other objects, which we take with us when departing, while also providing a tactile experience for our fingertips upon coming home.
