Jewellery box ➔ Circo.
Identifier:
MusA-288Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, crafted out of noble woods, such as American walnut, for the lid, veneered with bird's eye and topped by a maple apex. Due to its beauty and the arched shape of the top, the author called it Circus.Geometrically, this piece is shaped as a regular square prism, which forms the storage compartment of the jewellery box, and by an arched lid composed by four sections obtained from cuts made in a paraboloid, which are joined by the vortex that tops the piece.
In the opening process, the lid completely separates from the body of the jewellery box.

1980-1989Internal Notes
Este guarda-joias foi construído na década dos anos 80, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, folheada com olho-de-perdiz, com tampa formada e arqueada com nogueira americana, encimada por um vértice em ácer. Devido à beleza e forma arqueada do tampo, o autor designou-a por "Circo". A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Circo" faz parte integrante da coleção dos 81 guarda-joias, doada à Universidade de Aveiro pelo Sr. Eng.º Joaquim Domingos Capela em Dezembro de 2013.Languages
