Uniqka BELLIS Leather jewel box

Bellis is a new, aesthetic storage unit for jewelry and accessories: a ‘jewel bed’.‎ The late 16th and early 17th century fashionable ruff collars in baroque Europe served as inspiration for designer Bilge Nur Saltik.‎ She used this delicate, floral-like pattern to make an object that will be used with other precious personal items, the jewelry.‎ Bellis marries the elegance of leather and the firmness of steel.‎ Folded leather pieces are connected with each other and supported by a circular steel base and a small storage cap in the center.‎ The leather bed is made from tiny pieces of vegetable-tanned leather, while the two steel components are hand-spun and finished with powder coating.‎ Bellis unveils a unique approach to storing and displaying jewelry.‎ The central metal container and the looped leather bed separately offer storage options while creating an aesthetic harmony.‎ At Uniqka, we keep all the off-cut material in our workshop for use in later designs.‎ This idea, where the tiniest leather pieces are repurposed into elegant and functional items, is the basis around which Bellis was built.‎ Bellis comes in five colorways.‎ Green and black leather have a dark green steel base, while brown and nude leather have a dark brown steel base.‎ Finally, the navy-blue leather has a tone-in-tone metal base.‎ Even when not in use, Bellis is a charming piece of design.‎ Further info from manufacturer on BELLIS Uniqka
